Der beste Revierführer fuer die Windwards - Der Doyle ist unter Revierkennern anerkannter massen der beste Revierfuehrer der Region. Man merkt das der Autor der absolute insider und spezialist fuer die Windward-Islands ist. Die Umsetzung in Wort Bild und Plan ist einfach perfekt.Es ist zudem auch noch witzig geschrieben. Schade dass es nicht auch eine deutschsprachige Version gibt.

A book for sailors and divers alike. - This is a real guide. It has been carefully compiled and includes all the information which any water-borne visitor will need to know when visiting the Windward Islands., These are (in the order they appear in the book), Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Bequia (pronounced Beckway), Mustique, Canouan, Mayreau, Tobago Cays, Palm Island, Union Island, PSV and Petite Martinique, Grenada, Carriacou, and, of course, each of the passages between these enchanting islands.In an informative introduction, which gets anyone who is sitting in a cold house during an American or European harsh winter (like I am!) wanting to reach for the phone and book a flight, we learn something about the local land and the customs of the people who live there. There are also a number of helpful suggestions on any topic from what to bring to sunburn - and it s all useful stuff, even for the seasoned traveller.Then it s on to the cruising information with notes on weather and navigation as well as more general information about scuba diving, flora, fauna and even the flags of the different countries visited. From now on we get down to cases in the order of march already mentioned.Telling people how they should navigate their boat is a very responsible undertaking. Forget to include that, otherwise well known, underwater obstacle and you can guarantee at least 3 boats will have hit the darned thing within the first 24 hours of your book being published. This book, however, is a professional work and I doubt any yacht or other small boat travelling to and from these small islands will be without a copy.NM

Rare combination of useful advice and humor - As a frequent user of cruising guides, I appreciate how rare is the combination of useful, detailed advice and a sense of humor. Chris Doyle does it here, and every traveler (or prospective traveler) to the Grenadines should get this guide. It s not just for sailors.
