Caribbean Passagemaking by Les Weatheritt Pdf

The chain of islands from the Virgins to the southern Lesser Antilles is one of the most desirable tropical cruising grounds as well as the most accessible for North American and European sailors. The Caribbean Sea is usually benign but the conditions are very different from your home waters—you must learn to sail with the grain of wind, weather, current, and climate, or these forgiving waters will turn into a punishingly rough old sea. This updated third edition of Caribbean Passagemaking is an entertaining mine of information for the sun-soaked passage planner as well as the dreamer back home. Here is the full, vital background to help skipper and crew enjoy sailing the Caribbean islands.

Welcome Aboard! Come along with us as we enjoy a ten-day vacation cruise through the British Virgin Islands! We will sharpen our sailing skills, explore gracious cruising sites, and rediscover some of those life lessons that brighten any relationship.

The crew represented is also an authentic family, although some may say a bit brighter for the telling. Fictionalized characters have been added to protect the innocent.

Yours cordially, Norman O’Banyon
