The definitive cruising reference to Maine's complex coast - its deep bays and rivers, its offshore islands, its secret gunkholes, and its fabled cruising harbors. A Cruising Guide to the Maine Coast was first published in 1988 after more than four years of research by Hank and Jan Taft. It's then revolutionary format set the often-imitated standard for subsequent cruising guides everywhere, and its level of detail firmly established it as the "Bible" of the Maine coast. In 1994, Curtis Rindlaub took the helm as author, updating all the charts and expanding coverage to include the Bay of Fundy and the Saint John River. The guide is now in its sixth edition.

Pacific Northwest Nautical Cruising Distances, small boat cruising, aid to small boaters. Many, but not all, of the routes contained in these tables have been cruised by the author. The cruising distances calculated by the author were by a route selected by the author and may not be the exact route selected by others. These routes however, represent what the author considers the most likely route. Distance traveled by other boaters could vary. The routes selected by the author are suitable for boats up to 48 inches draft. Boats with deeper draft may have to select longer routes to avoid shallows. The calculation of cruising distances were determined from NOAA and Canadian Hydrographic Service digital charts in BSB format using the Fugawi Marine ENC™ navigation application.

Annual Guide to Northwest Boating from Weatherly Press. The first edition of the Waggoner Cruising Guide was published in the spring of 1994. The book wasn’t very thick, and it covered only Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands, and the Canadian Gulf Islands. It lacked many photos and had only a few maps. Although its coverage was limited initially, this book had one quality boaters seemed to recognize: it was written for them. The book contained factual, unbiased information about Pacific Northwest cruising and marine facilities, and it was easy to read and use. Today, the guide has grown in size and coverage area (now Olympia, Wash. to Ketchikan, AK), and it has added many new articles, tips and stories. The Waggoner Cruising Guide mission is to provide essential boating information for Northwest waters and to display it in an easy-to-use, entertaining format. We encourage all boaters, regardless of experience, to explore these beautiful Northwest waterways. With the right information, anyone with a boat and the piloting skills can do it.
