Publisher Description
This book is an essential reference for yachts cruising the Queensland coast.
Each of the 13 coasts, from the Gold Coast to the Cooktown Coast, is covered in detail, including marinas, anchorages, public and private moorings, passages, wind and wave averages, public pontoons and quick reference information.
It features hundreds of chartlets and high-resolution aerial photos of anchorages to take the guesswork out of anchoring. Each anchorage has information on depth, bottom, marine park zone, recommended wind directions and strengths, mobile reception, TV reception and Starlink.
It is also an extensive reference of useful information needed when preparing to cruise the Queensland Coast such as skills and experience, apps, charts and books, equipping the yacht for cruising, cruising logistics, climate and weather systems, marine hazards and the three marine parks and their rules.
It is also available as an eBook for iPad, Android, Mac and PC on the Apple Books, Google Play Books and Amazon Kindle stores.
Customer Reviews
A great cruisers’ guide
Fantastic informative and detailed with some personal insights. A great cruisers’ guide to the Queensland coast. Sean from Sydney.
Excellent new 3rd edition
I previously bought the first edition. This is an expensive book but it has detailed and up to date information.
We are cruising at the moment. We left Brisbane and are now up near Bowen. The book has been a useful companion the whole time. I particularly like the Marina information that saves a lot of time.
Essential update for cruisers
I’m a long term reader of Greg’s. I bought the first edition, upgraded for free to the second and have now bought the third.
To yachties who are committed to learning the coast from a practical perspective it’s a must-buy. Greg obviously has sailed these waters many times over and thinks of the practical things you need if you’re on the water, not just in your office looking at maps. The integration with navionics is incredibly useful and he is steadily adding more and more locations to his already quite comprehensive list.
One thing I particularly liked about the third edition is his mention of Starlink. I think it’s becoming increasingly important for modern cruisers going long distance, but Greg shows the land vs ocean status throughout and lets you make your mind up.
Would recommend to sailors new and old!
