Cruising Resources: Off the Beaten Path

SY Vagabond wintering in the Canadian Arctic.
CRUISING OFF THE BEATEN PATH A useful page for cruisers wanting to explore outside the "milk run" and easily find articles by cruisers who have done just that, plus helpful links. Here we feature articles by cruisers who have visited more remote parts of the world, useful links, books and much more. From the hot, dry coast of West Africa, to the frozen coast of the High Arctic, isolated islands off Australia to the mystery of Saudi Arabia, these cruisers have gone alone but reaped the benefits. Follow the accordians below. If you are cruising off the beaten path and would like to share your stories with Noonsite, please get in touch with Sue at editor@noonsite.com.
