Waggoner Cruising Guide Updated, Expanded for 2014

waggoner

With each new edition, the publishers of this annual guide to cruising the West Coast from South Puget Sound to Southeast Alaska update, expand and improve its content and coverage. The 2014 edition includes the usual updates on hundreds of marinas, destinations and facilities along the coast, plus expanded sections on Haida Gwaii and Ketchikan, a major update on Vancouver Island’s West Coast, and new destinations along BC’s North Coast.

All marina diagrams now include detailed slip identification to make it easier to find one’s way into a new destination.

One of the Waggoner’s strengths has always been its extensive general info on how to cruise safely in the Northwest; this section offers new detail, and northbound cruisers will find more tips on tackling Cape Caution and Dixon Entrance.

And the dozens of sidebars that make the Waggoner an entertaining read on the boat or off have been refreshed as well. In all, it’s an essential resource when you’re planning your next cruise and at the helm while you’re under way.

Look for the Waggoner at Steveston Marine, Nikka Marine, West Marine and most nautical bookstores and chandleries. Available online at ChynaSea.com and Waggonerguide.com. Cost is $24.95.

Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
