Review
If you plan to cruise the middle and northern reaches of the Gulf, read Gerry Cunningham’s The Complete Guide. -- Sail Magazine
About the Author
Gerry Cunningham has been noted for his outdoor equipment since 1945. Well remembered are his down insulated ski jackets, the famous Gerry Kiddie Carrier, and his high altitude mountain climbing gear used on Mt, Everest and many other Himalayan Peaks. Like many other outdoor pioneers, Gerry has gravitated to the sea and cruises the Sea of Cortez in a full keel, 16,000 pound, 30 foot, masthead rigged sailboat without an engine. All of the anchorages described and the GPS coordinates have been taken by Gerry on the spot.

Great work!,
By netfixer (Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Guide to the Sea of Cortez (CD-ROM) (CD-ROM)
I love having so much information on a CD. I find that this information is more complete and more accurate that anything else available for the area. Having it all on one CD along with hundreds of extra color photos and charts makes this a cruiser's dream come true!

THE Guide to Cruising the Sea of Cortez,
By Carolyn Shearlock "TheBoatGalley" (Now living in Illinois, formerly on a boat in the Sea of Cortez) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Guide to the Sea of Cortez (3 Volume Set) (Spiral-bound)
No two ways about it, this 3-volume set was our bible for 6 years of cruising the Sea of Cortez. Almost all of Cunningham's chartlets have a GPS grid overlay on them -- wonderful for setting your waypoints. They're accurate, too -- which most electronic charts are not, as they are simply digitized versions of old charts (many times, chartplotters will show you on land when you're in the harbor, etc -- and there is no universal "correction factor").
We found (literally) one or two places where there was a typo in the lat or long, but our other cruising guides had far, far more. Cunningham also covers far more anchorages than any of other guides. Amazon says this is now out of print. I just checked and they are still available directly from the author at: [...] (OK, they deleted my reference. Google on "Gerry Cunningham Sea Cortez" and you'll find it) or you can get the three volumes individually here on Amazon: Cruising Guide to the Lower Gulf, Sea of Cortez Sea of Cortez Cruising Guide, Vol. 2: The Middle Gulf San Carlos and the Midriff Islands (Sea of Cortez Cruising Guide, Volume 3) Cruising the Sea of Cortez is fantastic! Enjoy your trip!!
