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.
