<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 />
“Since its beginnings, the <strong>Compass</strong> has pioneered the direction<br />
for lively and far-ranging selections of ‘news you can use’,<br />
including feature articles on cruising destinations, regatta news<br />
and events and marine-related businesses, plus recipes for<br />
culinary delights, tips on viewing night skies and local <strong>Caribbean</strong><br />
Eco-News. I am inspired by the contributions of the writers,<br />
reporters, cartoonists, photographers and poets, wherein songs<br />
are sung of ordinary individuals doing extraordinary things.”<br />
— Nathalie Ward<br />
