a "classic"
this is a classic cruising guide, and it has good information. this guy Street is a legend, and you'll see him referenced by many seasoned cruisers.my error was not realizing that this book is o-l-d! Published "1974, 2001" - not sure what the "2001" refers to since i can find reference to the 1980's at best.anyway, these sort of things all have limitations. just know what you're buying.i have found Stephen Pavlidis' guide books to be very well researched and useful, if you also want a modern guide.

A bit dated, but great cruising guide still
A great cruising guide. Some of the information is outdated but a lot of important details are still valid today. You should complement this book with recent information and/or local guides for the places you intend on visiting. For example. the islands of Vieques and Culebra, while still under US jurisdiction, are not being used as US Navy bases anymore and although there's still dangerous unexploded ordnance scattered around, they've not being used for target practice for quite a few years now.One great thing about this book is that it's designed to be used along with Imray-Iolaire nautical charts and you can plan your routes more accurately by using the most recent charts and the book as reference, just don't rely on it for accuracy regarding places to visit since a lot of things have changed over the years.

Wonderful book - would like to see updated facility information
Great book and easy read. Outstanding suggestions on anchorages. Invaluable suggestions regarding navigational hazards to avoid.I purchased the book following a presentation that I attended by the author, Don Street at the 2013 Annapolis sailboat show. Mr. Street's account of his years sailing throughout the Caribbean was so captivating that the book became a have-to-have.The only negative regarding the book is that the information hasn't been updated since around 2000, so information about facilities may be a little stale.Great cruising guide. Get it! You wont be sorry.

Good info but
A bit old but still has good information. Don is a bit set in his ways and many of his recommendations show an excessive use of tactics one would expect to use on older non-motorized sailboats. As with all such books the cruiser should acquire books on same subject from multi source/ writer's. All have lots of opinions based on a persons personal views and experiences... none are totally true from any source as you will see if you are actually cruising.

dated
Some interesting stuff but very dated. It's true, rocks don't move but this is still at a point where it either needs to be fully updated or not offered.
