Re: Jimmy Cornell's books.
We don't have World Cruising Routes as we can't afford it. Anyway, we want to decide our own
route, not go
round the world via Jimmy!
Sometimes we hear what Jimmy says and we still do our own thing.
Panama to
Galapagos is a great example: He says to
head south till you hit Equador before you turn towards the
Galapagos. We, of course, being our independant muffins we are decided not to waste the sea miles but go in a straight line.
Who was right?
OK well we did still get there! It just took a little longer!!
You may as well say the
compass is wrong before I would say Jimmy Cornell is wrong.
And World Cruising Handbook in one book gives you a little bit about every country you are likely to go to. It can't do all about every anchorage, but will get you to a place where you can get local charts, pilots and advice
