Martinique to Trinidad: including Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Barbados, Northern Grenadines, Southern Grenadines, Grenada, and Trinidad & ... Cruising Guide to the Eastern Caribbean)

A well written book, that gives much more detail than other guides. Streeter has a long history in the Caribbean and his passion for sailing and the islands comes through in every page. The book is much more than a guide, so if you are looking for barebones to the next waterhole, this might not be your book, but if you want a broader sense of the islands and all the little gunk holes this is a great read.

This is more of a mariner's journal than a travel guide.

Excellent sailing guide. The only reason the rating is not 5-star is because the information ends around year 2000. Although typically reefs and rock hazards do not significantly change over time, marina and other facilities do appear.

Very old comments! Not actualized at all!

This book is well organized and written, but I was never sure how up-to-date the information was. The book was first written back in the 1960's and was last published in 2001. The author does not ease my concerns because in several places in the book he says this is the way it was in the early 1970's, or I went back in 1984 to update this information. It reminds me of listening to my father reminisce about the good old days-pleasent stories, but not always relevant to the way things are today. Also, there are few pictures contained in the book and none of them are in color. This adds to the feel that the book was written in the 1960's and it certainly does not create excitement or motivate anyone to go to the Windward Islands. In summary, the positives are: detailed information on navigation, sailing routes, areas with tricky currents, waves, etc. The negatives: limited and/or outdated information on navigation hazards, buoy locations, places to get provisions, restaurants, hotels, shops etc. This is a pricey book and I would expect it not to be outdated and dull. It appears that the book is slipping from a cruising guide to an autobiography by Mr. Street. I would skip this one.

A good read
