"Joe Russell gives
cruisers the needed ingredients of all guides--how
to do it and where to go, but by writing in the first
person he has also spiced up his book with many uninhibited
personal experiences. This is a must reference for
those wanting to thoroughly enjoy their first landfall
on the famous Coconut Milk Run."

Earl Hinz, author,
Landfalls of Paradise--Cruising Guide to the Pacific
Islands
Sailing to the South Pacific, whether
from California or Panama, the first landfall is the
Marquesas. Joe Russell, who has lived and sailed in
the Marquesas, documents this beautiful little-known
place. Volcanic, tropical beauty and ease of navigation,
make these islands some of the most interesting and
dramatic cruising grounds in the world. The Marquesans-the
island's greatest asset-are proud of their history.
They presume friendship with everyone, sharing their
legends and traditions.
Includes history, language guide,
chart diagrams, mileage and heading tables, and recent
archeology.
