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 Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
