<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 />
‘What does <strong>Compass</strong> mean to me? As a reader, it is the only<br />
source of information about matters that affect the ever-changing<br />
cruising community up and down the island chain. Whether it<br />
be new mooring buoys in the Saintes, or reforms to Customs<br />
procedures in Grenada, without your input we would go forth<br />
upon the waters in ignorance.’<br />
