Charlie's Charts of the US Pacific Coast is a cruising guide that is a proven reference for safe navigation of the challenges for travel along the US Pacific Coast. It clearly describes the choices of routes for travel along the coast: harbor-hopping, inshore and offshore routes and discusses weather, crossing bars, and safety issues. A safe approach to all major facilities is described and sketched in detail as well as the anchorages in the Channel Islands. It has detailed drawings of marina facilities that take the worry out of approaching an unfamiliar marina especially if the crew is fatigued following a tiring spell at sea. The GPS waypoints on each page are intended to assist a cruiser to locate offshore approach buoys and avoid reefs, points, and capes by a safe margin. Waypoints are not given following the channel into marinas since channel markers are regularly moved to indicate the best water as a result of constant shoaling and scouring.
