World Cruising Handbook

In this companion book to World Crusing Routes, you'll find essential information on planning and executing any overseas voyage. Part tourist guide, part specialist cruising handbook, this meticulously researched and edited second edition is completely updated. Part One covers health precautions, insurance, safety, flag etiquette, cruising permits, visas, and other documents. Part Two, the heart of the book, supplies information on language, currency, political situation, culture, climate, and religion for more than 180 countries. There is detailed information on ports of entry, customs requirements, clearance procedures, yacht clubs, and more. Part Three gives sources of weather forecasts worldwide, radio and cellular communications networks, life-raft service stations, and a glossary of useful terms in French, Spanish, and Portuguese.
