Proven Cruising Routes Volume One is the first of
a brand new concept in route guides. Actual routes-waypoint to
waypoint, with a diagram of each waypoint-from Seattle to
Ketchikan, this route guide covers the conventional Inside
Passage to Alaska, the Outer Passage and numerous alternate
routes preferred by small cruising boats. The results of several
years of on-site testing, this guide will be invaluable to
skippers wanting a quick, accurate reference. Waypoint diagrams
show the exact relationship between the waypoint and any
navigational danger in the vicinity-- courses to steer, distance-to-go,
waypoint co-ordinates and other critical data are presented in a
neat user-friendly format on the facing page.
Proven Cruising Routes is a major breakthrough.
Three years in the making, Proven Cruising Routes Volume One has
been prepared by two highly experienced GPS navigators who have
combined efforts to develop this new format.
These are the routes they have used dozens of
times in plying the waters of the Inside Passage. Their unique
and concise presentation of the technical information is exact
and unambiguous. In Proven Cruising Routes, their routes have
been optimized for small craft travel and the presentation is
designed to alert a helmsman when following or crossing shipping
lanes, separation zones, precautionary zones and other known
hazards within 400 yards of the route. Should the skipper wish to
follow another route, junctions are identified for painless
decision making. Proven Cruising Routes provides an instant
reference for the skipper who needs to know-quickly and clearly-the
course to steer, the distance to the next waypoint, or the
presence of hazards in the vicinity. Proven Cruising Routes will
be an invaluable companion for a skipper using GPS in any weather
and visibility-giving both the novice and the old timer an added
margin of safety in piloting these challenging waters.
