Synopsis:

The Captain's Guide to Hurricane Holes is a navigational aid designed for yacht and boat captains transiting the waters of The Bahamas and Caribbean.  If you are so unfortunate as to find your yacht or boat in the path of an oncoming hurricane, this book will provide advice on the safest locations to flee to as a last resort.  Sitting out a hurricane on a yacht or boat in the water should only be done as a matter of desperation.  But if you must do so, and every year many captains find themselves in that situation, this book will give you the best advice on where to go for better safety of ship and crew, securing your vessel, info on hurricane formation and history, preparation strategies, weather information, plus the characteristics, charts and photos of the safest places to wait out a storm.

Review:

Every sailor who cruises The Bahamas and Caribbean should have this reference book aboard. No matter how you handle your weather predictions, from a novice to a NOAA professional, EVERYONE has been caught unawares when bad weather comes in.  The difference between those who continue cruising after the storm and those that don’t could be this book. 
Bob Bitchin - Cruising Outpost Magazine

A book you never want to need, but one you must have if you sail in the tropical waters of The Bahamas and Caribbean.
