An enjoyable appetizer to a Jersey cruise

Captain Launer is an articulate, informative, and entertaining guide. His information is current and detailed. I have enjoyed reading this book straight through from the Introduction. I look forward to extending my next Baltimore-to-Cape May cruise up the ICW to Atlantic City with Captain Launer's guide at hand.

well presented; accurate; organized;useful

Captain Donald Launer is one of the more knowlegeable sailors along the New Jersey shore. He lives there and is devoted to marine arts and sciences as they effect boaters. His book is scrupulously accurate, unusually readable, and more than interesting for sailor, motorboater or just an interested reader. Although the book is sequential in form, in that it presents a travalogue from New Jersey's dramatic Palisades to rather scruffy Trenton Falls, it is equally useful as a reference book; the organiztion is outstanding. Captain Launer has also kindly provided a fairly complete reference section. This is a "must book" for any skipper who wishes to cruise New Jersey Waters. A great gift for any Garden State boater.

Get off the beaten track - read this book!

"A Cruising Guide to New Jersey Waters" is a delightful sail up all the little tidal rivers, through the marshes, backbays & canals - a waterway tour around peninsula New Jersey. I went to several of the lovelier locations described in this book by car. If you want to really go off the beaten track, forget the popular tourist guides & check out books like this one.
