Purchase options and add-ons

Chance the Tide provides invaluable information for anyone considering a winter cruise to the Bahamas. Author Kenneth Mowbray covers all of the major decisions involved in choosing a yacht and equipping it properly, and also provides readers with many valuable tips to make the trip easier. Most of his information comes from personal experience and cannot be found in most cruising guides or other sources readily available to those sailors wishing to travel down the Intracoastal Waterway and across the Gulf Stream. Mowbray's secrets and insight will make the journey a truly memorable one that readers will most likely repeat several times.

Review

Chance The Tide: How To Cruise To The Bahamas For The Winter by mechanical engineer and sailing expert Kenneth Mowbray is a practical and "user friendly" how-to guide for enjoying a Bahamas cruise in the wintertime. Individual chapters discuss a wide variety of different boats ranging from sail to power and in terms of how they are best utilized, what equipment to bring, how to navigate the Bahamas, enjoying life while living in a relatively small space, and more. A useful guide filled with sound advice for cruise lovers everywhere, Chance The Tide is especially commended to the attention of novice sailors while having a great deal to offer even the most experienced when cruising Bahamian waters. ― Midwest Book Review

The book has some good tips about spending the winter in the Bahamas but it's a bit thin in both bulk and content. Should you buy this book? Perhaps, as there aren't a lot of books that provide good background for cruising in this area. Perhaps the highlight of the book is the information that the author provides about provisioning which is quite helpful.

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2017
This is a book that does NOT live up to expectations. I'm not interested and did not buy the book to read that I might want GPS or a dinghy for a trip to the Bahamas. For me there was not remotely relavant input till page 69. Limited but Helpful input ends on p 107. Lordy. This is not a destination guide. It is an amateurs view of what to take on a first big cruise. There cannot have been an editor involved.

I was very excited to get this book. I only read the first couple of chapters because it was all inofrmation that is common sense. Not a good investment.
