BRAND NEW EXPANDED SECOND EDITION IN STOCK!

The most complete and authoritative guidebook ever written for cruising the Pacific Coast. Thanks to exhaustive research, detailed piloting information, carefully defined routes and GPS waypoints, the Douglasses have turned the Pacific coast passage from one to be endured to one that can be enjoyed with confidence. They view the passage as an opportunity to see some of the most varied scenery and unique ports found anywhere, and they provide the local knowledge needed to locate, enter and explore more than 500 places along the way. Their “Proven Cruising Routes” depicted on sketch charts show the safest routes to and from difficult ports and anchorages, and hundreds of photos add further to your knowledge of the coastline.

For a helpful planning and navigation tool, consider the "Pacific Coast Route Planning Maps" which complement the book. They are 24"X60", and come either folded into a 5" x 12" cardstock cover, or as a laminated wall map. These colorful maps include all the main ports and show the principal routes and GPS waypoints for navigation. The back of the maps list the latitudes and longitudes for all key points shown on the map, as well as Approach and Entrance diagrams for many ports along the coast. 2009.
