About the Author
Gerry Cunningham, well known designer of outdoor sports equipment, started surveying and charting the anchorages of the Gulf of California, or Sea of Cortes, over 40 years ago. He published charts of the San Carlos area in 1970, and the first edition of Cruising Guide to San Carlos in 1985. Gerry searches out and surveys all viable anchorages in an area. Where you see an anchor symbol on his charts, that means that he has personally had his hook down there. There are no speculative anchorages.. If he gives a GPSM position, that means he has sat in that spot for at least 15 minutes, recording the readings every minute in order to eliminate any momentary anomalies, and to give you the best possible fix.
Gerry has accurately surveyed and charted over 270 anchorages, which are described in his 3 Cruising Guides covering the Sea of Cortez from Cabo San Lucas up the Baja coast to Bahia de los Angeles, across the Midriff Islands to Bahia Kino and down the mainland coast past San Carlos to Guaymas harbor.
