This guide is by far the most comprehensive book for cruising the entire island of Newfoundland -- it encompasses over 300 harbors with chartlets or sketch charts for nearly all. From the dramatic fjords along the south coast to the beautiful seabird colonies along the east coast, and then to the isolated islands and rugged coastline and the historic abandoned outport villages of Notre Dame Bay, there is something for every adventurous cruiser. The guide also covers the very French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, which are just a few miles from Newfoundland’s south coast. Cruising Newfoundland represents a significant adventure for the coastal cruiser and this book helps prepare the skipper, the crew, and the boat.

VIDEO INTRODUCTION TO NEWFOUNDLAND: Ed O'Reilly, a well known photographer and videographer from Newfoundland, has produced a beautiful and accurate description about "The Rock" and what cruising there will be like. Caution -- it may inspire you beyond all reason: htwww.youtube.com/watch?v=RcqZ88OxnKw
