“It is difficult to fault this pilot. Clearly and consistently laid out; navigational directions are concise and accurate… an excellent, informative and enjoyable companion for any Atlantic cruising sailor.” — Flying Fish Magazine (Ocean Cruising Club)

Rudolf Waldner (Goodreads): “Was a great guide to the islands we visited. Had I captained a yacht, it would have been even more relevant. The maps served us well.”
