Circumnavigator Jimmy Cornell has a number of publications that we depend on for trip planning. World Cruising Routes gives distances and waypoints for principal world cruising routes, along with a discussion of weather concerns for that route and recommended passage times. Cornell’s Ocean Atlas contains worldwide pilot charts that depict monthly average winds and currents for all oceans of the world, and is useful for determining the best time to make a particular passage. And World Cruising

Destinations provides a snapshot for offshore voyagers of 184 countries that includes cruising attractions, ports of entry, formalities, and climate and recommended cruising season. We also used Cornell’s web site, noonsite.com, which appends from World Cruising Destinations with information on local services, and is updated with recent experiences from the cruising community. The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency publishes worldwide

Sailing Directions that we found quite useful. These can be downloaded for free on their web site and have detailed information on local harbors and coastal hazards. We also used local cruising guides, travel books such as Lonely Planet, and web-based sources to plan our itinerary in more detail.
