100 Magic Miles - 8th Edition Cruising Guides and Charts

by Al Constable on 10 Jun 2007 This is time of year that large numbers of Australian Cruising sailors follow the humpback and southern right whales north to the Whitsundays and if you are using an old Cruising Guide, now might be the time to consider an update.

The acknowledged leading cruising guide for the Whitsundays is 100 Magic Miles by David Colfelt, which is now its eighth edition.

100 Magic Miles is the authoritative guide to the Whitsunday Islands, known locally as 'the bible' because it contains exhaustive information about all aspects of this Queensland holiday paradise:

Its 256 pages of detailed information, sketch maps, diagrams and colour photos includes 113 pages of detailed sailing directions for anchorages throughout the islands and colour sketch maps of all anchorages.

It contains vertical colour aerial photography of many principal anchorages and the island resorts of the Whitsundays

It provides details on fishing in the Whitsundays (incl size and bag limits)
Scuba diving and snorkelling in the Whitsundays, Camping on the Whitsunday islands, Boating in the Whitsundays and an index of anchorages and placenames.

You can buy 100 Magic Miles from Boat Books on line at http://www.boatbooks-aust.com.au

or direct from any of the three stores.
