This cruising guide provides navigation information for a boater departing from Victoria and traveling along the British Columbia and Southeast Alaskan coasts following the protected waters of the Inside Passage to Glacier Bay, Alaska. It is divided into eight sections with full-color photographs and a sketched chart indicating marinas or anchorages where a cruising boat can find moorage as it travels along the coast. Each location has a detailed sketch and description of a safe approach, recommended anchorages and shore facilities. Crucial portions such as the transit of passes and the passage of Cape Caution are given particular attention with guidelines for timing and recommended routes. A customized weather map provides excellent information. For cruisers unable to make the entire trip to Alaska shorter trips to spectacular areas on the coast are described such as to Princess Louisa Inlet, Desolation Sound, Broughton Archipelago, Fiordland Recreation Area, Kitimat and the Kitlope.

From An Armchair Perspective…
We are daydreaming of a trip up the inside passage aboard our sailboat. A copy of Charlie’s Charts, “North to Alaska” came highly recommended by a couple presently cruising in that area. From what we have read, we can see why it is highly recommended. Obviously practical use in the area covered could reveal shortcomings or reinforce our initial impression. I may come back to this review in several years to give it an update, after the fact. At this point, this book is an excellent read for the dreaming armchair cruiser.

This book does not contain any nautical charts or detailed nautical information, just sketches of some islands and inlets. There is some useful information here and there but it’s a travel guide, not a nautical chart book.
