"Thanks for putting out such great cruising guides!" -- Gar & Nicole

"We found and greatly enjoyed several anchorages that were listed in this guide but not in the other guides we have for the region. We also easily saved the purchase price of this guide in Diesel fuel alone by making passages with waypoints this guide provided where other guides indicated no passage was possible." - Steve and Darusha

"These are 2 neat little e-books providing a useful guide for any sailor planning either a cruise to the Central American countries of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua, or to Costa Rica. Conveniently, both guides have an interactive table of contents, making finding information quick and easy." -- NoonSite Book Review

"We just wanted to thank for the fine guides that you both produced. It has proved invaluable as we have wended our way south through Central America. ...[Due to an equipment failure] your anchorage waypoints and waypoints to wend our way in were truly critical. They were spot on and made life much better." --David & Sally

"A few boats got together in Shelter Bay Marina Colon to discuss trips to Mexico. We all agreed to go and we also all agreed that your guides are REALLY AWESOME!!" -- Peter S.

"I just wanted to say that your guides are terrific! Keep up the great work." -- Anita B.

"We reread your cruising guide again on our way down here and are still convinced that it's extremely helpful." -- John L.

"We have given your web site to many cruisers especially on the Caribbean side. We tell them that your guides are the best as they are accurate and user friendly. Thanks for all your hard work." - Stan & Lynn
