Lethbridge aims his comprehensive guidebook at both the cruising yachtsman and the vacation charterer. By organizing the cruising grounds of Jamaica into three areas Montego Bay to Negril, Kingston and the Port Royal Cays, and the Cays and Harbours of Portland Bight he makes it easier to plan a short cruise to Jamaican With strong south easterly trade winds, a westward daytime cruise would be preferred, with upwind voyages planned for night-time. Chartlets and black and white photos, including some aerial views, provide excellent illustrations for the routes, harbours, and anchorages. Each anchorage is provided with navigation information. swimming and snorkeling availability, and shoreside facilities. The appendix covers navigation aids, suggested charts, a sample crew list and information on shoreside facilities. PAF
