Editorial Reviews

Review

"Nearly as indispensable as the boat itself, the ACC marina guide is exemplary for its completeness and objectivity.” --Blue water Sailing

Best New Books: makes heading ashore much less of a crapshoot - critical evaluations - everything anyone could possibly want to know. --Yachting Magazine

...excellently detailed.....the ACC guides accept no [marina] advertising. This is a very good effort for a very good price. --Practical Sailing & PowerBoat Report

About the Author

Beth has been ?messing about in boats? for most of her life ? in the early years it was one-designs and later considerably larger cruising boats. Coastal cruises, with her husband, Richard (editor of this volume), have included numerous trips throughout the Chesapeake and along the Eastern seaboard, including the ICW, where they?ve perfected the art of ?achievable cruising? ? cruise for a week or two, leave the boat, go home, come back a month or two later and continue on. Other cruising adventures have taken them to Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, the South Pacific, and the Mediterranean.

Very very complete work with pictures and extreme detail on each location. Internet often lacks in details and requires several emails. While looking for a location for my yacht to enter dry storage and possible wet slip later, I found this book the complete summary on what I was finding on the internet. I love its completness.
