great book for sailing routes around the world, 2008-11-23
I bought this book because people recommended this book being the best for planning your routes around the world plus Hal Roth who has a book "How to sail around the world" recommends it as well. The book tells you about the many different routes around the world about when there is hurricane season in the different oceans how long does the cyclone season last how far it is from one coutry to the next. This is a great book that I will be sure to use for when I plan my trip around the world.

This is a must have for your navigation station....... I can only say that if you value safety, thereby providing a more likely outcome of fun and pleasure, then use this volume, plan with this volume, and live by this volume and you will give yourself the widest margin of safety possible.

A laborious book of recipes. Disappointing!, 2008-04-15
In the circumnavigators world,everybody talks about this book. You find it on many yachts... A must?
My disappointment comes to some extent of a high expectation.
I found it terribly repetitive, describing each of many ways of crossing an ocean, with the same information repeated again and again, as if talking to a small child, without giving the "big picture" of this ocean.

Ocean Passages and Landfalls by Rod Heikell is a lighter, much more enjoyable tool allowing the reader to "understand the gastronomy" instead of "following the recipe".

World Cruising Routes, 2007-07-26
When planning a circumnavigation one has three choices: 1) Do not plan and accept the extreme dangers of circumnavigation; 2) take a year or more and plan using all available nautical publications, charts, electronic navigation systems; and 3) read and use the outstanding information provided in "World Cruising Routes." This publication will save you time and more important provide excellent tips for short and long passages across the oceans of the world. Cornell has taken the time to consolidate information and plot the important way-points for us.

The most important advice given is the timing of transits. Cornell identifies the risks and the pleasures of circumnavition and avoiding weather disasters. Thanks to Mr. Cornell, sailors who venture forth on the oceans will be safer and more comfortable at sea.
