About this title

Synopsis

This is the sister volume to "The Atlantic Crossing Guide" and follows a similar format, giving first-hand advice on a wide range of practical matters which should be valuable for anyone planning a Pacific crossing, whether as part of a circumnavigation or merely to explore the Pacific Islands. Part I contains a wealth of information on preparing the boat, her equipment, and crew; the weather and seasons; provisioning; ocean cruising techniques; health matters; radio communications and achieving happy relationships with the South Sea Islanders. Part II examines the choice of routes, both east to west and west to east, and provides a comprehensive overview of each of the island groups through which the routes pass. Part III gives landfall information with detailed chartlets for 43 harbours. Included are the principal arrival and departure points in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Panama, New Zealand and Australia.

Store Description

Hall of Books is a family business selling secondhand books and sheet music online. We offer an eclectic (perhaps eccentric!) selection ranging from modern first edition hardbacks and quality paperbacks to the interesting, unusual and rare; the hard-to-find, collectable and out-of-print....and a lot more in between! We do our best to describe and photograph our books and music accurately; and to package them securely when they sell. We do not rely on stock images. If you need more information on a particular item, or if we haven't yet provided a photograph for a specific listing, please contact us using the Contact Seller button.
