ATLANTIC CROSSINGS
A Sailor's Guide to Europe and Beyond

LES WEATHERITT

The main intent of this book is to prepare the North American sailor for his first crossing of the Atlantic to Europe. It is actually so exhaustive in its coverage that it will indeed help the bluewater sailor to learn how cross any ocean in the world. Covering prevailing winds and other seasonal considerations, the author not only deals with suitable starting points on the East coast but also covers in great detail the best and most popular destination sites in Europe. Several appendices provide additional useful information.

'I really like this book. It has a ring of experience but is delivered in a way that makes the new sailor very comfortable. It is filled with just the kind of information first time crossers really like to read about. It is a "World Cruising Routes" in narrative form with lots of amusing anecdotes. The strength of the book is the route planning...'
