There is truly no greater cruising ground than Indonesia. With 18,000 isles covering some two million square miles of pristine tropical water and a rich and vibrant local culture there truly can be no comparison. Cruising Guide Indonesia covers everything the prudent navigator needs to safely ply the Indonesian waters and enjoy the largest and best island nation in the world.
Sailing in Indonesia is definitely on the rise and more and more yachts are visiting every year. The Indonesian government is pushing hard for development in the marine sector and new facilities are being built and funded as demand increases. Government regulations are changing for the better and the old large scale corruption seems to have been eradicated and sailors are taking note. Instead of hurriedly passing through the country yachts are now beginning to linger and some are even choosing to stay year around.

CRUISING JAPAN TO NEW ZEALAND.
By Tere Batham. Hardback, 0.62kg, 160mm x 235mm, 275 pages, colour photos and black & white maps.
After several years spent cruising the South Pacific Islands, Tere Batham and her husband settled in Japan. Two and half years later, they set out once again, embarking on a fourteen-month, 10,000-mile voyage back to their home in New Zealand.
Michael and Tere acquire a novice crew, Miki, a beautiful young Japanese girl who is more interested in escaping an arranged marriage than in enjoying life aboard SEA QUEST, their 47-foot steel sailboat. But despite Miki's bouts of seasickness and her fears during storms, she becomes a great companion and participant in their numerous adventures.
Their route takes them first to Japan's Southern Archipelago, then to Hong Kong and Macau. The Philippines brought new adventures as well as some sailing problems, including a short-lived grounding. Soon they were in Micronesia, discovering little known islands and cultures, which Tere, a keen observer, was intent in experiencing.
They discover the remnants of an ancient South Sea island culture verging on extinction, explore the daunting ruins of megalithic Nan Madol, after the Solomons Islands, Vanuatu, where they participate in a cargo cult sabbath, they spend some time in New Caledonia, waiting for good weather to cross the Tasman Sea.
Armchair cruisers and serious sailors will enjoy Tere's vivid and colorful accounts of exotic places, people and cultures and at the same time will be thrilled by her gripping stories of dangers and navigational challenges overcome.

Some 70 anchorages were resurveyed and new ones explored, and the details of these have been included in this edition. Improved coverage of diving and diving sites is also one of the key improvements. Dive sites are now clearly identified.
Users of the authors' guides to Southeast Asia will be familiar with their background information on culture, history and politics - an attractive feature of their writing, and in this new edition of Red Sea Pilot discussions on the history of the pilotage and charting of the area have been added. There are particularly interesting sections on hydrographic surveying and, with this in mind, the authors have included their own sketch charts of the Sudan coast which are folded into the back of this volume.
For this edition the cartography has been completely renewed and is now clearer. The text is illustrated by a section of colour plates which capture the atmosphere of the sometimes harsh but always fascinating geography of the area covered by the pilot.
