At last, actual routes-waypoint to
waypoint, with a diagram of each waypoint-from Seattle
to Ketchikan! A first-of-its-kind, this route guide
covers the conventional ferry/cruise ship routes northbound,
as well as the Outer Passage, and many remote inlets
and passages preferred by small cruising boats. The
results of several years of on-site testing, this guide,
which sets the standard for all future route guides,
is a boon for skippers wanting a quick, accurate reference.
Waypoints are given for each step of a route with steering
courses, distance-to-go, and other critical data for
helmsmen and navigators.
Proven Cruising Routes is a major
breakthrough in presenting clear and concise directions
for navigating the intricate passages between Seattle
and Alaska. Each step of the way complete steering information
for the helmsman is instantly available with instructions
for every turn, the location of every waypoint, magnetic
and true courses to steer, distances to go and detail
maps of every waypoint and route. Three years in the
making, these two highly experienced GPS navigators
have combined efforts to describe each and every waypoint
to use when cruising between Seattle and southeast Alaska.
These are the routes they have used
dozens of times in plying the waters of the Inside Passage
and their unique and concise presentation of the technical
information is as user-friendly as it is exact and unambiguous.
In Proven Cruising Routes, their routes have been optimized
for small craft travel and the presentation is designed
to alert a helmsman when following or crossing shipping
lanes, separation zones, precautionary zones and other
known hazards within 400 yards of the route. Should
the skipper wish to follow another route, junctions
are identified for painless decision making. Proven
Cruising Routes provides an instant reference for the
skipper who needs to know-quickly and clearly-the course
to steer, the distance to the next waypoint, or the
presence of hazards in the vicinity. Proven Cruising
Routes will be an invaluable companion for a skipper
using GPS in any weather and visibility-giving both
the novice and the old timer an added margin of safety
in piloting these challenging waters.
