<strong>Compass</strong> covers the <strong>Caribbean</strong>! From Cuba to Trinidad, from<br />
Panama to Barbuda, we’ve got the news and views that sailors<br />
can use. We’re the <strong>Caribbean</strong>’s monthly look at sea and shore.<br />
“I discovered the <strong>Caribbean</strong> <strong>Compass</strong> while taking the<br />
American Sailing Association classes in St. Lucia in 1995.<br />
I have been a loyal reader since, always looking for the<br />
‘inside story’ of what is happening in the <strong>Caribbean</strong> and<br />
especially enjoying the personal stories, recipes and tips<br />
for sailors.”<br />
