Product Description

St. Vincent and the Grenadines have so much to offer the visitor. St. Vincent itself has breathtaking volcanic mountains, fertile valleys famous for their fruit and vegetables, archaeological sites, ancient fishing villages, and much more.

The harbors and anchorages of the Grenadines are meeting places for sailors and yachts from all over the world. Special emphasis has been given to providing the right sort of information needed on sailing vacations throughout the area.

Appreciation of all these attractions is enhanced by the author's brief historical detail.

About the Author

Since Lesley Sutty first set foot in the Grenadines in 1969 she has been fascinated by their natural beauty, the hardy island people, and the extraordinary wealth of marine life in the surrounding waters. As a writer and traveler, her research into the area's marine and land fauna and the prehistoric and modern-day societies have made her an acknowledged authority on the natural life and history of the area.

4.0 out of 5 stars The real scoop for the tourist visiting St. Vincent, August 4, 2004

By	Elizabeth, the Traveler (Atlanta, Georgia) (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This is a good over view book that expands, but does not replace an excellent travel annual published by the St. Vincent travel bureau. The author is explicit about specific companies and people who can render service, such as diving. She also updates situations that may have changed since recorded in an older travel book. She clearly loves the islands and this comes through. Not expensive, and well worth adding. Books about St. Vincent are few enough.

1.0 out of 5 stars A guide it isn't!, March 17, 2007

By	J. David Carroll "celtic laddie" (Atlanta) - See all my reviews

Full of great pictures, but at best, it is only an introduction to St. Vincent and the Grenadines. If you are looking for a serious cruising guide, as I was, don't get this. It is a very good introduction though.
