The best anchorages are only<br />
in Don Street’s <strong>Caribbean</strong> pilots<br />
When cruising the <strong>Caribbean</strong> be sure<br />
to have Street’s guides on board as<br />
your primary PILOT. Only Street has:<br />
Inter-island and harbour pilotage<br />
Tidal information<br />
All eastern <strong>Caribbean</strong> anchorages<br />
Street’s pilotage information is timeless<br />
and is your key to a quiet night’s<br />
sleep in unspoilt anchorages!<br />

Other guides are best for shore-side<br />
information & are provided to the charter<br />
fleets so what harbours & anchorages<br />
they do include are more crowded.<br />
Street’s pilots include: south east & east<br />
coast Grenada, the south & east coast of<br />
Carriacou, & the east coasts of Cannouan<br />
& Martinique. These are not covered<br />
by other guides but Street considers<br />
them the best in the eastern <strong>Caribbean</strong><br />
now Venezuela is no longer safe.<br />
The perfect pilotage companion<br />
for all the other guides<br />
