 Rating:  - Have to buy a different guide because this one is so badI liked the look of this one in the shop and at a first glance it looked like it would have all the info we needed for our cruise on our sailboat through the Bahamas.

Head and shoulders above the rest of the Bahamian cruising guides! |
