1.0 out of 5 stars
Coffee table picture book - worthless for cruising,
By Bluewater cruiser (san diego, ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guide to Navigation and Tourism in French Polynesia (Paperback)
Heard lots of good things about this book - lucky thing I had a chance to read thru a borrowed copy. In my opinion - having cruised FP in our sailboat, this book is worthless as a cruising guide. Look around for a used copy of marcia Davock's out of print - the bible.
3.0 out of 5 stars
The wrap is better than the gift,
This review is from: Guide to Navigation and Tourism in French Polynesia (Paperback)
Nice pictures, complicated indexes, not so many navigation tips, poor English translation. Nevertheless this is the only nautical guide for the area (Bora Bora - Raiatea - Tahaa) I was interested in. Buy it if you can't find something better.
