New Publisher Takes Helm of Waggoner Cruising Guide

Waggoner Cruising Guide

Among the most valuable improvements this year are redesigned marina and harbour maps to guide the boater visiting a location for the first time. Maps show clearly all nav aids, preferred routes into harbours or anchorages, and the main streets of destination villages or towns. You’ll find website and email information for marinas and other attractions, more informative sidebars of cruising tips and local knowledge, and more pictures. Coverage now extends across Dixon Entrance to Ketchikan, Alaska to help cruisers who continue past the guide’s former end at Prince Rupert. This section outlines U.S. Customs procedures when entering Alaska.
The 2012 Waggoner is available for the iPad for $9.99 through the Apple App Store. Details on harbours and marinas are searchable by menu or text search or by location on a map. Touch a button and the app will show you the 10 closest marinas to your boat. You can also use the app like an eBook, swiping to flip pages. The Waggoner website has also been redesigned and offers timely information for cruising in the Northwest and the Inside Passage.

The Whitsunday Islands

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
