| Publisher Description: From its quaint towns to its beautiful, protected waters to its many uninhabited cays, the islands of the Abacos offer a spectacular and varied cruising destination. "Abacos: A Mariner's View" presents these islands from top to bottom from the eyes of a mariner. The author has made the special effort to give just as much attention to the more remote anchorages as to the more popular island communities. In fact this book is written from a perspective of places that are conducive to anchoring. It will have a special appeal to those whose interest goes beyond Abaco's communities, resorts and marinas. With over 100 photos, island descriptions, overview maps, and a chapter on the history of the Abacos, this book provides a wonderful overview of the entire Abacos. It is a great resource for the potential cruiser or the armchair sailor who simply wants to know what the entire island chain has to offer. For the potential cruiser it is important to note, however, that this book is not a cruising guide and does not try to be. Cruising guides are an invaluable resource for anyone cruising the Abacos for the first time. However, unencumbered by the vast amount of navigational information that must be the focus of cruising guides, this book is able to focus on simply and efficiently giving a wonderful overview of the island chain. |
