- great book for sailing routes around the world
I bought this book because people recommended this book being the best for planning your routes around the world plus Hal Roth who has a book "How to sail around the world" recommends it as well. The book tells you about the many different routes around the world about when there is hurricane season in the different oceans how long does the cyclone season last how far it is from one coutry to the next. This is a great book that I will be sure to use for when I plan my trip around the world.
