"This would be a welcome addition to the library of any Puget Sound sail- or powerboat owner.

This is an excelent book for Puget Sound boaters, A DEFINATE MUST BUY!
It is very easy to find locations and is up to date. A crusing guide lists, Beauty/interest, Protection, Facilities, Latitude and longitude, Phone numbers and web sites of marinas, parks, etc. It also has many wonderful color pictures of area atractions, plus charts and tidal curent charts
This is a much better book than Gunkholing in the South Puget Sound which is eight years out of date.

This is a must have boaters book if you live in the Puget Sound area. Very detailed in the points of interest, each one is clearly described and rated. Some charting is included for difficult harbors, approaches are described. This gives us (new boaters and new Washingtonians) a great place to start in our explorations. Highly recommended!!!

An excellent guide to this outstanding cruising area; obviously well researched and very well written and compiled. From a pilotage viewpoint, it could be improved with a few, more detailed "chartlets" of some of the more difficult approaches and port/dock entries, but the first rate collection of photographs and especially the superb aerial photographs (by Neil Rabinowitz) provide make up for this very minor deficiency.
Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent guide book with great information (docking, fuel, eateries, malls, to do lists) for cruising the Puget Sound area. It has become part of the boat library.

A must have for cruising down sound or in the San Juan Islands. There are not any good cruising books for South Sound and this was and still is a "Bible" of information. I live in the San Juan Islands and we gleaned more information about our own waters. Highly recommend this book. ONE THING THOUGH.....American Camp anchorage is NOT protected from south westerlies!

Nicely put-togther book. Well thought-out. Nice photos, mini-charts, and explanations. A bit dated (2005 version). Some information is obsolete. I wish there was a newer version.
Thank you for your feedback.
