Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Launer, a licensed captain for 17 years, has extensively cruised New Jersey waters in his two-masted schooner, Delphinus. New Jersey is surrounded by 300 miles of navigable waters subject to tidal flow. Beginning at the northeastern corner of the state on the Hudson River, Launer sails down the Hudson River around Sandy Hook, down the Atlantic Coast via the Intercoastal Waterway past Atlantic City, round Cape May into Delaware Bay, and on to Philadelphia and finally Trenton. Along the way he describes weather, prevailing winds and currents, bridges, safe anchorages, yacht clubs, restaurants, parks, game preserves, marinas, and even local boating stores and repair facilities. He primarily stays within sheltered waters but also discusses in detail the ocean passage with good solid advice for the offshore skipper. Launer is also a keen environmentalist and updates not only the boating conditions but the encouraging wildlife resurgence. A good, solid addition for public libraries along the Atlantic seaboard.
