5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible-Indispensible!, July 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Street's Cruising Guide to the Eastern Caribbean: Anguilla to Domenica (Street's Cruising Guide) (v. 2, Pt. 2) (Hardcover)

Although I have been sailing for 40 years, this was the most useful and informative sailing guide I have ever read. It adverted me from several unknown and possibly costly collisions...and I'm not referring to other boats. His harbor guides and navigational charts were indispensible! BUY BUY BUY!!!!

This is one of the bests books on sailing ever. Mr. Street is obviously a very acomplished sailer. I strongly suggest this book to anyone who is planning to sail in the Caribbean

5.0 out of 5 stars St,Martin-Anguilla-St. Barths-Saba, April 4, 2000

This review is from: Street's Cruising Guide to the Eastern Caribbean: Anguilla to Domenica (Street's Cruising Guide) (v. 2, Pt. 2) (Hardcover)

Excellent It bailed us out when we ran out of light before getting into the anchorage at Philipsburg and got us into several beaches that were completely deserted.

A bit dated is spots (it is 7 years old) For example, Saba has installed a number of excellent mooring on the south and west sides on the island, making it much easier to get either by the traditional landing or LLadder Landing on the West side. There is a road down to that now (no more 1000 steps to climb). However it was out when we were there (4-1-00)
