Chance The Tide: How To Cruise To The Bahamas For The Winter by mechanical engineer and sailing expert Kenneth Mowbray is a practical and "user friendly" how-to guide for enjoying a Bahamas cruise in the wintertime. Individual chapters discuss a wide variety of different boats ranging from sail to power and in terms of how they are best utilized, what equipment to bring, how to navigate the Bahamas, enjoying life while living in a relatively small space, and more. A useful guide filled with sound advice for cruise lovers everywhere, Chance The Tide is especially commended to the attention of novice sailors while having a great deal to offer even the most experienced when cruising Bahamian waters.

The book has some good tips about spending the winter in the Bahamas but it's a bit thin in both bulk and content. Should you buy this book? Perhaps, as there aren't a lot of books that provide good background for cruising in this area. Perhaps the highlight of the book is the information that the author provides about provisioning which is quite helpful.

I was very excited to get this book. I only read the first couple of chapters because it was all inofrmation that is common sense. Not a good investment.
