Praise for A Cruising Guide to New Jersey Waters: "Launer blends
maritime history with nuts-and-bolts cruising facts. It's a good
bet for East Coast cruisers who gunkhole south in the winter or
north in the spring."--Cruising World "Fills a big void in the East
Coast boating world."--Home News Tribune "Whether you are a
newcomer to the Jersey coast or an old-timer, you will delight in
Captain Launer's blend of local history and sea lore."--Barnegat
Bay Banner With this book in hand, boaters can cruise down the
Jersey Shore--from New York Harbor to Delaware Bay--in the good
company of Captain Donald Launer. Captain Launer brings many years
of experience as a skipper of small boats to this engaging nautical
and historical guide to New Jersey's tidal waters. Cruise with him
from the New Jersey/New York state line near the mouth of the
Hudson River, past Raritan Bay and Sandy Hook, and into the
Manasquan Inlet. From there, he gives you a choice of voyages: the
inside route through the Intracoastal Waterway to Toms River,
Barnegat Bay, Atlantic City, and Cape May, or taking the offshore
passage. Then you explore the Delaware Bay and its tributaries and
cruise up the Delaware River to Trenton. This revised edition
contains updated information about onshore facilities, marinas,
restaurants, stores, sites of interest, docking fees, bridge
heights, maritime service stations, weather, navigation, and
safety, as well as post-September 11 regulations in the waters
around New York City. The book also includes a wealth of
photographs and sea charts. Donald Launer, who holds a U.S. Coast
Guard captain's license, has explored the New Jersey waters in
every kind of small craft since he first sailed in Barnegat Bay at
the age of eight. His articles on recreational boating have
appeared in Good Old Boat Magazine, Cruising World, The
Beachcomber, Offshore, and Sail. He berths his schooner, Delphinus,
in Forked River, New Jersey.
