"When I'm afloat, the Guide is always within arm's reach of the cockpit. Always extremely practical as well as wonderfully entertaining, for years, The Cruising Guide has been the classic one-volume guide to sailing and powerboating the waters from the Hudson River and Long Island Sound north to Canada."
-- John Rousmaniere: author of The Annapolis Book of Seamanship, Fastnet, Force 10 and After the Storm : True Stories of Disaster and Recovery at Sea.
"There is no other book of its kind so chock-full of information as this one . . . A joy to read, even for non-sailors. It will be read even after the summer is over, long into the dreary winter nights"
-- The Boston Globe
"The authors of the most recent edition of "The Cruising Guide to the New England Coast" (W.W. Norton & Co. , September 2002, $49.95) took the words "completely revised" to heart. For this newest edition of the guide they revisited nearly every harbor in the book, talked with harbormasters and marina owners, and reevaluated earlier judgments, according to the publisher.
"The book covers the Hudson River, Long Island Sound, and the Coast of New Brunswick. It offers advice on dodging bad currents, where to anchor, essential services and recent changes in navigation markers, marina boatyards and other facilities
"The cruising guide also offers information on weather, tides, local animals, places of historical interest and sea conditions . . . "
