This volume offers sailors information on planning an extended cruise in the Caribbean. Topics covered include: choosing the right boat; what equipment to install; what clothes and stores to take; what provision to make for finances and communications along the way; likely power needs; security and insurance; staying healthy; legal formalities; and sources of weather information. There is also an appendix of UK/US terms and useful addresses.

After nearly 10 years of cruising in the Caribbean with John, her photographer husband, aboard Honey Jar, their 40ft steel cutter, Jane Gibb writes with down to earth practicality born of having 'been there' and experienced it. She is a regular contributor to Yachting World and the Caribbean sailing press.
