by Les Weatheritt

The chain of islands from the Virgins through to the southern Caribbean is considered one of the most desirable tropical cruising grounds for any sailor. It can be sailed in comfort, confidence and the admiration of the crew with only: one language, one currency, a modicum of weather forecasting and an ability to spot weather windows.

This book is an entertaining mine of information.

Les Weatheritt learned from experience that you can sail these boisterous Trade Wind seas the hard way or the easy way. This book distills those lessons to give the cruiser a wonderfully simplified and effective approach to passage planning and island hopping. You don't have to do it the hard way!
