Description
The Panama Cruising Guide is a thorough and reputable reference book for sailors planning voyages to Panama and through the Panama Canal. Covering both the Pacific and Caribbean sides of the country, the book provides detailed information on approaches, anchorages, ports and local conditions.
The guide is written with long-distance sailors in mind and contains practical advice on sailing conditions, weather, currents and logistics related to canal passage. In addition, it provides useful insights into formalities, local services and safe navigation in Panamanian waters.
Eric Bauhaus’ guide is considered a classic reference work for cruisers in the area, and is particularly appreciated for its experience-based approach and clear structure. A solid complement to newer regional guides, it is a natural choice for sailors planning longer stays or transits of the Panama Canal.
