<strong>Compass</strong> covers the <strong>Caribbean</strong>! From Cuba to Trinidad, from<br />
Panama to Barbuda, we’ve got the news and views that sailors<br />
can use. We’re the <strong>Caribbean</strong>’s monthly look at sea and shore.<br />
‘It is said that the marine environment can be harsh and<br />
corrosive. The <strong>Caribbean</strong> <strong>Compass</strong> proves otherwise, for<br />
it has grown stronger and stronger over the years,<br />
becoming an integral part of the media with its focus on<br />
sailing the <strong>Caribbean</strong>.’<br />
