Explorer Chartbook Far Bahamas and Turks & Caicos
5th edition, January 2011 The lure of The Far Bahamas was a seed planted in our hearts that gradually grew and flourished into the Explorer Chartbook series. It was because of our desire to go to the Bight of Acklins that we found existing charts wanting and came do our own surveys to make our own original charts.
Unlike the other parts of the Bahamas with miles of shallow bank, there is much deep water and little dry land in the Far Bahamas islands, spread out over hundreds of miles from Eleuthera to Inagua. In planning your Far Bahamas odyssey, do your homework first and take along your trusted Explorer chartbook! This new 5th edition includes 12 additional pages and 8 original charts of the Turks & Caicos. You’ve asked and the Explorer Team has listened, offering first-time Need-to-Know coverage and accurate charts from on-site surveys as your adventure takes you beyond the Bahamas.
