Synopsis

This book is everything the author Joanne Wilshin wished she’d known when she first started cruising the Pacific Northwest’s Inside Passage. “Cruising in the PNW is more like a video game than any where else I’ve said cruised,” she says. An avid first mate, Joanne has compiled the necessities, and more, for anyone planning to first-mate aboard a boat traveling through the Inside Passage from Olympia to SE Alaska. The information provided is expansive enough to help someone chartering in the PNW for the first time, to those planning a three-to-five month cruise to Alaska or Olympia.
