All the parks, resorts, marinas, cities and launching ramps are included with reviews and suggestions to help fellow boaters explore, cruise and boat camp. Look for the kindle version and the full color print version The area from Bellingham to Deception Pass, La Conner to Butchart Gardens and Victoria to Friday Harbor is included. Favorite hikes and strolls accessible only by boat are covered, bicycling and kayaking suggestions too. Some parks and destinations are outstanding, while others are not, this guide will arm you with useful knowledge earned by the authors decades of exploring, gunkholing and hiking the area. The somewhat tongue and cheek articles display an honest assessment of destinations for your benefit. It is clear throughout this guide that the author (me) wants to help you enjoy cruising the area and has compiled what every Skipper and Admiral wants to know. Notably, "Which parks have docks and bathrooms, and where to buy food, fuel, and ice." Plus all the launching ramps and marinas to help get you on the water. This is the special expanded black and white edition with over 25% more pages that includes boating, camping, and cruising essentials for your next best vacation. Imagine yourself discovering unique exciting places accessible only in your boat. One last tidbit: You are invited to visit our web site www.sailingthesanjuans.com where you will find all the information contained in the cruise guide, but not near as orderly. News Flash! - Last 4th of July (2016) I was lounging on the finger dock next to my boat at Friday Harbor when a fellow boater approached me. He said, "I recognize - Kraken (Kraken's on the back cover)- I bought your book, and use it as one of my resources." We had a long enjoyable talk. He said he drove from Redding Ca. and taking my advice put in at Squalicum Harbor. Meeting a happy camper, made my day. Thanks! John News Flash! - (Dec 2016) We will have a new travel guide to the San Juans out soon. The new guide will be a "Land and Sea" guide and will be for all travelers. The original "San Juan Islands Cruise Guide" is still your detailed boaters bible to the Marine Parks. The new guide is titled "San Juan Islands Travel Guide." It includes shore attractions, e.g. resorts, campgrounds, villages, parks, and lots of local community knowledge to assist your bicycling excursions, kayaking paddles, hiking and overall visit. The new guide is a companion resource to our cruise guide - not a replacement. Boat travelers to the San Juans should own and carry both.

This book was released on 1995-10-22 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between Long Island Sound and the elbow of Cape Cod lies a richly varied cruising ground. A Cruising Guide to Narragansett Bay and the South Coast of Massachusetts is the definitive cruising guide to these waters. Its coverage extends to the headwaters of Narragansett Bay and miles offshore to the solitude of Block Island and Nantucket. Longtime area boaters Lynda and Patrick Childress and Tink Martin take you on a personal tour with all you need for a day, a weekend, or several weeks of cruising. They provide essential information on weather, tides, currents, and pilotage, as well as the availability of moorings and the closest place to pick up provisions. The unique harbor rating system shows at a glance what each anchorage offers in facilities, protection, beauty, and interest. Maps and charts help negotiate tricky channels or find that hidden marina. When you've dropped anchor and are sitting back in the cockpit after a day's cruising, the guide continues to inform you, pointing out places to go for food and entertainment, where to find hiking trails, picnic and fishing spots, wildlife sanctuaries, museums, and more. In addition, the authors give cruisers the historical context in which to view the passing scenery, and they impart a deep affection for the region's unique character.
