Look for a copy of "Yachtsman's Guide to Bermuda." It's out of
print but you could get lucky. The first $10,000 gets my own
personal copy (smile).

Just bought one used on Amazon for $15, a saving of $9,985. :-)

The version to look for is the 1994 edition published by the Maritime
Museum. It replaced the Voegli edition mentioned on Amazon, but the 1994
edition is essentially impossible to find. It is no longer available even
in Bermuda. I once owned the original edition put together by Voegli, who
now runs a sailboat charter operation in Bermuda. That book is long gone,
and of course I wish I'd kept it. I may never sail to Bermuda again, but I
still intend to hold on to this guide. A similar example I own is
Loveridge's "Cruising Guide to the Nova Scotia Coast." This is a superb
guide from about 1997. I know Pete Loveridge quite well and he inscribed my
copy. But the book is essentially unavailable, even in Nova Scotia, and
when it is found online the asking is often in the vicinity of $150.

I try to obtain everything in print when I am planning a cruise. Now it
looks like I should have bought multiple copies of each. However when I was
preparing for a Summer 2008 visit to Bermuda, I spent much more than I
intended on new Admiralty charts, electronic charts, various publications,
etc. Now I am the owner of a superb set of Bermuda documents and charts
that is just sitting around and doing me no good.

Good luck and good sailing.
