Subject: [world-cruising] Re:shipping lanes
I'm already down on my Plimsoll marks and all those books might put
me under. I wonder if the Sailing Directions have more detailed info
than Ocean Passages for the World which is a single volume with
charts for powered and sailing ship routes--as well as wind and
current charts, as I recall.
