“When you finally clear your schedule and take a few years off to see the world by boat, where will you go? There are thousands of gorgeous cruising grounds—but you can’t stop everywhere. Essential Sailing Destinations: The World’s Most Spectacular Cruising Areas will give you a head start in planning the trip from the comfort of your favorite reading chair. In essence, this is a richly illustrated sailing-specific guide book. The color photos are great and will definitely whet the appetite. But the text entries, which come from some of the world’s best known boating writers, will make you even hungrier for adventure. Local knowledge is at your fingertips, whether you wind up paging through the Pacific or meandering through the Med: specific navigation advice, marina suggestions, weather warnings, provisioning tips—and each entry is topped by a shorthand guide listing chart numbers, indicating navigational difficulty, time zone, prevailing winds, etc. All you need to do is add water!” Yachting, January 2009
