What a Bahamas cruiser needs to know,
By
This review is from: The Bahamas Cruising Guide: With the Turks and Caicos Islands (Paperback)
This is well worth the money, and indispensible for the yachtman planning to make the trip. It describes the islands, how to get to them from Florida, where to anchor, where to put in, and what to see when you get there. Good charts and illustrations. Other recommended books include Chart Kit BBA The Bahamas for navigational charts, Lonely Planet Caribbean Islands: The Bahamas paper or Kindle edition Lonely Planet Caribbean Islands: The Bahamas, Frommer's Bahamas 2012 (Frommer's Complete Guides) paper or Kindle edition Frommer's Bahamas 2012 (Frommer's Complete Guides) for more shoreside information, and Bahamas West End Is Murder: A Ben Candidi Mystery (Ben Candidi Mysteries) paper or Bahamas West End Is Murder (Ben Candidi Mysteries) Kindle as a beach book.
