Editorial Review: Product Description: Long established as the bible for long-distance cruisers and a bestseller since first publication, World Cruising Routes is a comprehensive guide to nearly 1000 sailing routes covering all the oceans of the world from the tropical South Seas to the high latitudes of the Arctic and Antarctic, geared specifically to the needs of cruising sailors. It contains information on the winds, currents, regional and seasonal weather, as well as suggestions about optimum times for individual routes.
