Carolyn and Bob Mehaffy's Cruising Guide To The Hawaiian Islands comes from a couple who use San Francisco Bay as their port, and who set sail for Hawaii in 1996 after they retired. Upon their third voyage to the Hawaiian Islands they spent a year taking their boat into all the anchorages and harbors on each inhabited island: Cruising Guide To The Hawaiian Islands presents an island-by-island cruising guide, complete with maps and black and white photos. From approach advice to anchorage and facilities, any serious cruiser heading for Hawaii will want to take Cruising Guide along for the ride.

I've bareboated Hawaii twice with this guide. I wouldn't want to travel without it. Plus it helps you sketch out a plan A trip before you even leave the mainland. When weather forces a change, the guide will help you determine a plan B. I have the 1998 version but at 310 pages the table of contents looks very similar to newer to versions.

This book is amazing, the Hawaiian waters can be tricky to navigate but this book clearly and accurately describes anchorages and other important information for cruisers or day sailors. As a resident of the BIg Island, the book really gave me confidence and look forward to adventures using this book. Thank you for the time it took to research and put it in writing. Awesome!
