I have been cruising in New England and especially Maine for several years. This guide provides the quick reference you need to initially map out your cruise and identify anchorage options when planning or in a pinch when weather gets bad and you need to find a good anchorage or the anchorage you want is crowded and you need an alternate.
Very nice quality and handy booklet. Thanks for quick shipping.
We're in southern Mexico and it's getting HOT! This has been a game-changer: never have to reset the scoop as the wind direction (or current) changes, picks up even the tiniest bits of air moving, can release the snaps from inside and just let it fly if rain hits. And there's no poles when setting it up -- super easy. 10/10 will buy again.
We bought a pair of these from you a few years ago and love them. We use them on our boat all the time and take them with us on every catamaran charter in the BVI. The best thing about them is that they have turned potentially dicey situations into easy events because we can just have calm conversations in a normal tone of voice, which helps tremendously. I thought my sailor friends who have gone on charters with us would be skeptical and insist that traditional hand signals would do for picking up mooring . . . but they loved them too. These are truly wonderful tools for any close-quarter maneuvering.
Loved your other guides and thrilled you have Maine now.
- Up to date
- Mooring fields & restaurants
- Easy to find the info I need
We were very excited to get the Cruising Guide for the Atlantic ICW and for Chesapeake Bay. We had used the guides for South Florida and the Keys and it was so helpful and easy to use. We loved their small size and the easy flip style to easily get to the information we needed.
So many tips and tricks as well as the recipes. Storing in the reefer and out of the reefer. Great suggestions on pots and pans as well as storage for dry goods. All of these tips are useful whether you are extended cruising or out for a day sail. Keeping our boats neat and tidy just makes the days more enjoyable. Thank you Carolyn and Jan!

To be honest, I have not even opened the box yet. But there was an issue with shipping and Carolyn handled it immediately! I had a new one in 4 days! Thanks again!!
I purchased the breeze bandit with expedited delivery. A glitch happened somehow. The delivery date was going to be after I was leaving for Mexico. I contacted Carolyn and she immediately responded that she would overnight a second product. I received it prior to my departure. The product was just as described. The service was exceptional and I realized that glitches happen but they were able to rectify it to my complete satisfaction. Kudos to the team.
I’d thought of cruising for several years but really didn’t see how to make it happen. This course broke down the options, answered the big questions, and gave me a clear direction forward. What once felt overwhelming now feels possible—and exciting.
This course gave me the tools and words to be able to discuss my fears with my partner, and for him to understand why I was so nervous. Even better, it let us work towards some compromises and now, guess what? I love being on the boat -- my way!
I purchased the marine radio reference guide. It is out of season where I am right now but we are looking forward to using this handy, well-laid out guide this summer. It was reasonably priced and promptly delivered. Would definitely recommend it.
Book was received as promised. Excellent layout. It will really simplify record keeping. Data is well organized, making future reference easy.
Very valuable and takes a lot of the guesswork out of cruising! Thank you for putting it together!
The tables are very nice to have but It needs a few pictures with charts snapshots. If it had those it would be incredible. Its still a very good reference!
The Quick Reference Guide is so intuitive and easy to use! I begin with it, then review the Watrway Guide for more in-depth information. A great combination!
I have been using my new TeamO PFD with BackTow� - Coastal Blue UML 170n for about 2 months as we cruise the Sea of Cortez. It is by far the most comfortable inflatable life-vest that I have ever worn. We wear our life jackets any time we are on the water, so I have put some miles on it. The jacket sits low on my neck -basically on the top of my shoulder blades so that even in a t-shirt or tank top, I am comfortable and there is no neck chafing. It works great across my chest and is not uncomfortably binding. My one complaint is the auto fill cord. It is designed to stay tucked into two little pockets, but it does not stay tucked in and it snags on lifelines, winches, etc. I just looked on the TeamO website, and it appears that they have changed the design so this may no longer be an issue.
These are nice handy guides in an easy to use formate. Specifics with lots of notes. We are getting ready for a trip and the detailed suggestions should be very helpful.
Hope to use this for future travel on a future trawler. It was nice not searching for the item on my own & the quality looks great.
This is perfect! It had quick answers to almost every question I’ve had in the kitchen. I hate having to track down information on the internet and sort through all the results that come up. This is even more important when on a boat when the internet may not be readily available! Highly, highly recommend this to anyone who cooks, bakes or sets foot in a kitchen!
It is nice to have a quick reference guide for marina services and anchoring locations while cruising. It helps with route planning. The 12v wiring guide is very handy. No need to search through a book for wire sizes per run length.
This book is short and sweet - it tells you how weather impacts your cruising, how to understand the weather at the basic level and shows you the tools to use and how to use them.
I like studying the weather and have read many books on weather and sailing. I wish I read this book first for it tells you what you really need to know and why. And then it tells you how to get the information you need and actually use it. It doesn’t teach you how to be a weather-person, it teaches you how to use available weather resources to have more comfortable sailing adventures.
I recommend this book to anyone who sails.
