Thanks for asking an excellent question, Scott! A terrific online resource is Noonsite <http://noonsite.com/>. It currently covers 191 countries and 1,648 ports. Directly or indirectly, I'm not sure which, Jimmy Cornell is behind the site that features essential information for passage-planning. Enjoy the planning part! That's the easy part, and the truly enjoyable one. The hardest part will be actually leaving the dock. --Georgs -- Georgs Kolesnikovs Your host at Trawlers & Trawlering, formerly Trawler World, since 1997
