Based on its history, Trinidad is the only island in the Lesser Antilles that can be considered "out of the hurricane zone." Because so many yachtsmen store boats in Trinidad for hurricane season, The Yachtsman's Guide to Trinidad, Edition 2.0, addresses the facilities and scope of services that are available to cruising boats in Chaguaramas. In addition to entry requirements, there is also a discussion on the best approaches to Trinidad as well as security issues in the country. While Trinidad is not normally considered a cruising destination by yachtsmen, the author covers what he calls "inland cruising" to provide opportunities to see and experience Trinidadian culture and see the sights that the country has to offer. There is also a section dedicated to a statistical review of tropical storms and hurricanes in the southern Caribbean. This latest edition also includes a Vendors and Products Directory to further focus what services are available.
