This cruising guide is a proven reference for safe navigation of the challenges for travel along the US Pacific Coast. It clearly describes the choices of routes for travel along the coast: harbor-hopping, inshore & offshore routes & discusses weather, crossing bars & safety issues. A safe approach to all major facilities is described & sketched in detail as well as the anchorages in the Channel Islands. Many cruisers have found the detailed information invaluable when approaching both planned stop-overs or when making an unexpected approach to the coast as a result of engine or equipment failure or a health emergency. Detailed drawings of marina facilities takes the worry out of approaching an unfamiliar marina especially if the crew is fatigued following a tiring spell at sea.GPS waypoints on each page are intended to assist a cruiser to locate offshore approach buoys & avoid reefs, points & capes by a safe margin. Waypoints are not given following the channel into marinas since channel markers are regularly moved to indicate the best water as a result of constant shoaling & scouring. Charie`s Charts
- US Pacific Coast (6th Edition, updated in 2015) is filled with QR codes, providing added information such as river-bar cameras, tide tables, weather cams, informational links to harbor websites & the like. The use of these QR codes is not required to use the guide, but provide additional information to the cruiser when within cell phone coverage. The codes can be scanned by a smart phone or iPad.
