5.0 out of 5 stars Essential guidebook for Lake Superior boaters, April 27, 2000

By	Jeffrey V Janacek (St. Paul, MN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Superior Way: A Cruising Guide to Lake Superior (Spiral-bound)

I write articles for boating magazines and frequently rely upon other sources of information just to be able to go out and research new material. This book is the only absolutely essential resource for those who go out on Lake Superior.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute necessity to enhance navigation skills on Superior!, December 17, 2000

By	Connie Bowman (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Superior Way: A Cruising Guide to Lake Superior (Spiral-bound)

Cruising Surperior has always been a goal for my husband and myself. Three years ago I bought 5 copies of the book for ourselves and friends. We studied and planned and charted Superior the first year. The book gave us a very detailed description of approaches, anchorages, bottom holding, alternative anchorages depending on wind. We found our first summer 1999 sailing Superior a very rewarding experience and in a large way "Superior Way" gave us the confidence to approach seemingly unapproachable anchorages. In many instances we seemed familiar with the areas, having read, studied Bonnie's book. We circumnavigated Superior that year and vowed to return in 2000. We did and again Bonnie Dahl's book was invaluable. We are going again in 2001. Lake Superior is a formidable lake by many accounts but having good Navigation skills and equipment, charts and Bonnie's book; Your experience will be the highlight of your cruising experience for years to come. Motor or Sail - - BUY THE BOOK!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I bought a copy the day I got back to shore., June 29, 1999

We were fortunate enough to find a copy of this book onboard a sailboat we had chartered in the Apostle Islands. The information it contains about docks and anchorages seemed very accurate and helped us make decisions on where to go. The history it contains about the area was informative as well as the guide to some of the trails on land. We referred to the book very often for information and diagrams.

I highly recommend this book if you plan to cruise the Apostle islands for even a single weekend.
