From Cuba to Trinidad, from Panama to Barbuda, we’ve got the news and views that sailors can use. We’re the <strong>Caribbean</strong>’s monthly look at sea and shore. We truly enjoy the <strong>Compass</strong> for each of the six months we are in the area each year. It is entertaining and a great resource for all the cruising community. We also frequently do business with your advertisers — this is the way a publication should work, meeting the needs of all stakeholders.
