John was born and brought up in Bermuda and started sailing as a child, racing locally and offshore before turning to cruising. He has sailed over 100,000 miles, most of it on his McCurdy & Rhodes 56, Morgan's Cloud, including eight ocean races to Bermuda, culminating in winning his class twice in the Newport Bermuda Race. He has skippered a series of voyages in the North Atlantic, the majority of which have been to the high latitudes, including cruising the coast of Norway and Svalbard for 2 years.

Editorial Reviews

The best cruising guide I have ever used. Steve Dashew, Legendary offshore voyager and cruiser.

For anyone planning a cruise to Norway, this guide is an indispensable companion. (HS)

I really admire your cruising guide. I have sailed in other parts of the world and I never found such profound and clearly written guides. For me, your guide is a reference how cruising guides should be written. (AK)

Thanks for all of your work on the Guide. It inspired us to experiences we would otherwise not have been able to accomplish. (R&JP)

Your cruising guide is among my "boatbibles", it's very informative and gives good info even to us "locals"-and on board my iPad is among my best friends for next-day-planning. (PE)

My wife and I sailed up to the north side of Spitsbergen, crossing 80°N this summer. We had a wonderful time in very beautiful nature with spectacular wildlife. We found a lot of nice anchorages where we rested securely and had some great experiences walking around enjoying the nature, looking at all kinds of artifacts from the old days. One big factor contributing to the success of our tour, was your Norwegian Cruising Guide 7th edition. Please accept our credit for what we experienced as thorough and good work. (HJ)

CONGRATULATIONS [on the 7th Edition]! We are Norwegians and have been cruising along the coast since 1985...We love your Guide. In fact, we have found a lot information there unknown to us before. We recommend it to all asking for info of our waters. (M&KH)
