"Sea of Cortez: A Cruiser's Guidebook" is an up-to-date, comprehensive guide detailing the remote and pristine anchorages of the Baja peninsula and Mexican mainland within the Sea of Cortez. New aerial and updated photography, along with additional anchorages, soundings, waypoints and enhanced topography are added features of the new edition.
The harbors and anchorages listed in this guide are illustrated with over 100 GPS accurate charts, derived from firsthand exploration, satellite photography, and current digital elevation models. GPS waypoints, along with prime anchorage locations, accompany each chart.
Important cruising information such as weather, HAM and SSB radio nets, customs and immigration, marina locations and layouts, fuel availablity, boat haul-out facilities and marine chandleries are among many of the features detailed throughout this guide.

Based on different schedules, sample itineraries have been included to help you make the most out of your time while boating within the Sea of Cortez. Vivid color photography, illustrating the serene beauty and life of this area of Mexico, makes this book not only a valuable aid to mariners, but also a fantastic way to plan your next trip or just to daydream of sunny days in the Sea of Cortez.
