This 2023 edition is the result of survey runs on the Sea of Abaco and at harbour entrances as well as aerial flights and photographs which resulted in up-dated charts and text. This is the only guide to Abaco with post-Dorian information. The accurate easy to read colour charts are entirely based on original hydrographic research and over 48 years of local knowledge. They are the only charts which show locations of submerged power lines and “do not anchor zones” in the central part of Abaco. The book also includes colour aerial photographs of all principal harbours and a a proven system of GPS waypoints. Its organization makes it easy to use―it is the clear choice of most cruisers and the best selling guide to Abaco. Includes tide tables for 2023, detailed snorkeling/diving charts, business directories for Abaco, articles on fishing, a lunar calendar for 2023, a guide to the dolphins and whales of Abaco, a brief history of Abaco, and helpful local advertising. 8½” x 11"

The Cruising Guide to Abaco, Bahamas: 2023

It is a Hope Town before the age of electricity, the aeroplane, the telephone and modern medicine....it is of the first fourteen years in the life of a descendent of the legendary Loyalist Wyannie Malone, who with three of her four children, settled on tiny Elbow Cay 150 years earlier."

 Review 
The Cruising Guide to Abaco is a wonderful help on board as well as for planning a sailing trip in the Abacos. It has all the necessary charts for approach planning and nice aerial images showing the way to anchorages. To make navigation easy there is an outstanding set of GPS waypoints you can use with the boat's plotter. An exceptional help are the charts of dive moorings and dive spots to find all the dive spots on your own not being dependent on the dive shops and their preselected dive spots schedule. I wished this guide would be regularily available in Europe as well. Amazon 2015 --amazon.com\nGreat guide. Everything you need to know on your trip to Abaco even if you're not a cruiser! Amazon 2015 --amazon.com\nThis book helped us have an enriched vacation in the Abacos. It indicated good snorkeling and fishing spots, and also where fish could not be taken. I would most definitely recommend this book! Amazon 2021 --amazon.com
