The Virgin Islands Cruising Guide 3 reviews Stephen J. Pavlidis
Seaworthy Publications Inc., 2005
Clear, concise, useful
+ Anchorage and harbor facilities, the Virgin Islands + Excellent charts and descriptions
This is a really excellent guide book. It's obvious that Mr Pavlidis has taken great pains to be accurate and to clearly present the information. Any cruiser knows this means a lot when you're approaching an anchorage and you're tired. I did not have this guide the last time i cruised the BVI, ...

W. W. Norton & Company, 2002
I've been using this guide for 30 years
I wouldn't cruise Maine without it. It shouldn't be your only guide as names of stores and such are dated -- but the really great parts are timeless - the same strange current runs past Mt Desert rock and the old fisherman's story about Siasconset Nantucket sinking is still just as wonderful. Read ...

A Cruising Guide to The Northwest Caribbean 2 reviews Stephen J. Pavlidis
Seaworthy Publications, Inc., 2007
Another consistant quality cruising guides from Palvidis
I have cruised extensively in the Caribbean and I think I have all of Steve Pavlidis cruising guides at this point. Every one is very good. In particular, I like his navigational descriptions, that is, his charts, way-points, and descriptions of anchorages- they are very useful. I like to flip ...

Extremely useful cruising guide
Nigel's guide is THE cruising guide for Cuba. It provides very detailed instructions for entering all minor and major anchorages, harbors, cities, etc. We used it on our two month westbound cruise of the north coast this year, and found it invaluable. The only complaint I have is that he hasn't ...
