Paperback
- 360 pages 2nd edition (November 1997)
The "Cruising Guide To Cuba" covers in great detail in a first person narrative
the entire coast and all of the coastal cities, ports, and harbors, i.e., about ninety
percent of what is worth seeing in Cuba. Written as a first person memoir, the book is
extremely readable as a novel, with local customs and situations described extensively to
place the reader in Cuba, at the docks, talking with the friendly Customs guards and
mechanics. Having been to Havana many times, I find the character of the country better
captured in this book than in any travel guide or any other book about Cuba, including
"Our Man in Havana". With humor, fairness, and keen insight into the truly
comfortable Latin American way of doing things such as living intelligently with
spontaneity and vitality, Charles goes farther than anyone to rectify the embedded Yanqui
mistrust of Cuba by describing actual experiences which let the reader know that the
embargo against that counrty has resulted in a great loss to our people: knowledge and
understanding of one of the most beautiful places, and most enlivening cultures on earth.

Price: $24.95
Paperback - 386 pages 1 edition (June
30, 1998)
Atlantic Cruising Club reviewers have selected and visited hundreds of marinas - Maine to Florida (including Florida's West Coast) plus the Abacos. They've quizzed dockmasters, inspected heads, travel lifts, pools and other amenities, checked out local services and markets, restaurants, inns, airports, etc. Then they've prepared extensive Marina Surveys and evaluated each marina on a scale of one to five bells. All of this material has been compiled into full-page, detailed Marina Reports for each of 380 marinas. In addition to the bell rating, each Report contains up to 200 items of information including contact data, dockage rates and prices, electric services and rates, pump-out, fuel, navigational access, reported depths, laundry, cable TV, pet rules, boatyard services, nearby recreation and entertainment, restaurants, accommodations, provisioning sources, transportation, general services, supplies, and medical resources. There are also descriptions of each marina's general environment, its operations, local events, area attractions and much, much more.
