<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 />
“It is my pleasure and perhaps my obligation to let all our<br />
boating friends know how much we enjoy reading the<br />
<strong>Compass</strong> and how it enriches our experience cruising the<br />
<strong>Caribbean</strong>. We boaters can hardly wait till the next monthly<br />
edition is available so we can catch up on the real skinny on<br />
events and people.”<br />
