Ocean Passages and Landfalls
Cruising routes of the world
Tags
'Ocean Passages and Landfalls' is a handbook for world cruisers. It provides invaluable passage-planning information for crossing the oceans, with discussions on climates, seasons, oceanography and the merits of different world cruising routes. The heart of the book is an ocean-by-ocean round-up, and at the beginning of each of these sections is a description of routes, followed by information on the countries relevant to these routes. Details of formalities and regulations are then followed by essential information on key harbours and landfalls.
This third edition has been thoroughly revised and includes sections on chosen areas and topics - the Atlantic Circuit or Cruising on Ice, for instance. The opportunity has been taken to provide more informal commentary and observations based on first-hand experience. These sections are illustrated by the authors’ colour photographs from far-flung parts of the oceans including the South Pacific and the Torres Strait, Brazil and the high latitudes of Chile.
As an up-to-date reference for world cruising this new edition of 'Ocean Passages and Landfalls' sets the benchmark as both a practical reference and also as a book for dreamers.
“I have recently been planning a voyage from Trinidad to New Zealand using Ocean Passages and Landfalls by Rod Heikell and Andy O'Grady. The book has been an exceptional resource. The mass of information on a wealth of subjects is excellent. The layout is beautifully put together and very accessible. The pilotage and chartlets will be invaluable. The book will certainly be travelling with me and I cannot recommend it highly enough to anybody who is planning ocean voyaging.” Theresa Kewell, S/Y Mr Blue
