 | World Cruising Handbook by Jimmy Cornell
The ultimate nautical tourist guide, World Cruising Handbook combines the best features of a conventional tourist guide and a specialist cruising guide. It contains everything the globe-girdling cruising sailor needs to know about the most popular cruising destinations around the world, from Australia to Antigua, Turkey to Tahiti. Those who prefer sailing off the beaten path will find full instructions for visiting lonely Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic, or the remote islands of the North Pacific. The colorful introduction to each of the world's 185 maritime countries gives a taste of what it's like, while the more practical sections tell what to expect on arrival, including: economy, history, political situation, culture, climate, language, religion, ports of entry, customs and immigration requirements, clearance procedures, ports and facilities, currency, hurricane holes, and more. Other sections cover cruising formalities, health precautions, radio procedures, buoyage, chart agents worldwide, courtesy flag patterns for every country, and a glossary of useful terms in several languages.
