The Pacific Crossing
Guide
Michael Pocock, ed.
This book will be invaluable for anyone planning a Pacific
crossing, whether as part of a circumnavigation or merely to
explore the Pacific islands. A sister volume to The Atlantic
Crossing Guide, this book follows a similar format by giving
first-hand ad vice on a wide range of practical matters. Part I
contains a wealth of information on preparing the boat, her
equipment, and crew; the weather and seasons; provisioning; ocean
cruising techniques; health matters; radio communications; and
helpful information about the South Sea Islanders. Part II
examines the choice of routes, both east to west and west to
east, and provides a comprehensive overview of each of the island
groups through which the routes pass. Part III gives landfall
information with detailed charts for 43 harbors. Included are the
principal arrival and departure points in the USA, Canada,
Mexico, Panama, New Zealand and Australia.
