Explore Central America Part 1

Take the mystery out of cruising Central America and get the latest information on anchorages, services, towns and weather. This original material can not be found in other guide books. We spent over 4 years cruising and collecting information for our books. The GPS waypoints are tried and tested not only by us but also by most of the sailors passing through Central America since 2007 when we published our first edition.

Included are over 75 unique GPS waypoints, as well as 45 city maps, charts and images. Important weather information about coastal weather, hurricanes, Tehuantepecers, Papagayos, and typical southern Mexican weather is provided. In addition, are strategies for crossing the dreaded Tehuantepec and tips for using SSB Email to make your own forecasts for your area using GRIB, Spot, Buoyweather, Shore buoys, and NOAA -- information that is hard to find elsewhere. Current entry and exit procedures are explained for all four countries reducing confusion, and speeding up the process. And, for off-boat related activities, there is even information on surf locations, as well as places to tour by land! Read a sample excerpt from Part 1.

This is Not an Epub or Mobi Ereader Format

For those of you with an e-reader, we now offer a package deal of the PDF file and both EPUB and MOBI formats. With a book layout as unusually complicated as this guide book there can be some issues with devices formatting the book properly. E-Ink devices also have very poor screen resolutions so the charts can sometimes be difficult to view. As a backup you are also provided a PDF copy for printing or viewing on large computer screens in full color.

Tested e-readers include: Nook Ed. 1 (NE1), Nook Color, Kindle Keyboard.

If you want the e-reader versions (mobi/epub formats) do not buy this version. Go back to the shopping page and purchase the [PDF, EPUB, MOBI] version
