Book Description
Puget Sound is one of the largest and most attractive cruising grounds in North America, more varied by far than even beteran cruisers expect--great natural harbors, breathtaking scenery, and a mild climate that permits year-round cruising. Here is the first comprehensive boater's guide to the almost 2,000 miles of shoreline and more than 300 islands that lie between Washington's capital of Olympia and the Canadian border at Point Roberts, including the San Juans.
Veteran Pacific Northwest cruiser and award-winning author Migael Scherer brings more than 20 years of Puget Sound sailing to this guide, offering intricate, hard-earned local knowledge of the approaches, anchorages, and facilities of hundreds of bays, harbors, and inlets, with annotated charts for many. Here also are insights into local history and attractions, and a rating system that details every harbor and anchorage, how and where to get ashore, and what facilities to expect.
A Cruising Guide to Puget Sound shows you not only where to cruise but how to make your cruise safer and more enjoyable, with a detailed discussion of weather, tides, currents, and the effects of commercial shipping, logging, and fishing.
Migael Scherer is a graceful, meticulous, and observant writer whose love and appreciation of all that Puget Sound offers rings clearly. Here is her personal tour.
From Olympia through the San Juans to Point Roberts on the Canadian border and Port Angeles in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound offers nearly 300 islands and some 2,000 miles of shoreline.
Here is the definitive guide, including
- Tested piloting information, with comprehensive details on approaches, anchorages and moorage, getting ashore, and things to do
- Harbor and anchorage ratings, including beauty and interest, protection, and facilities-at-a-glance
- Advice on coping with tides and currents, weather, commercial traffic, log booms, and other navigational challenges
- Annotated chartlets
- Local history and seasonal highlights
"Everything a yachtsman's pilot ought to be: shipshape and workmanlike in its approach, unusually well written, very thoughtfully researched. . . . I wish you'd put the price up to, say, $1,000, and thereby deter a few people from discovering the anchorages that until now have been quietly traded between friends."--Jonathan Raban
"Simply, every local boater should have a dog-eared, well-thumbed copy of A Cruising Guide to Puget Sound as a permanent feature in the nautical library."--48 Degrees North
"This would be a welcome addition to the library of any Puget Sound sail- or powerboat owner. It could well become a hit among landlubbers searching for that elusive Sound-side getaway."--The Seattle Times
Customer Reviews:
I like the Afoot and Afloat series by the Muellers better.......2007-06-18
Some charts in this book are very hard to read because they are full sized charts shrunken to book size. The Mueller's hand drawn "maps" cut to the chase and provide a fast, simple references to approaches, park facilities, shore-side facilities, fuel docks, buoys, etc. The Muellers are much more informative about individual places. This book is also too large and heavy IMO, it tries to cover too much. I carry real charts anyway, so why screw around with these miniature sized ones.
I'll moor it on my bookshelf and take my old copy of Marge and Ted's book when we leave tomorrow.
The Best for Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands.......2001-02-06
After 10 years of cruising and teaching sailing/cruising skills in this area, and this is the best guide to all of the US waters of Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands. Should be on all charter boats, but often is not, so if you are chartering inquire.
Add a "BBA Chart Kit" for detailed charts, and for the Canadian Gulf Islands "The Dreamspeaker Guide," and you are set!
Finally, adding this season's "Waggoners" guide will give you the latest contact information for marinas, etc.
The first, and still best, cruising guide we bought.......1998-12-22
This was the first book my wife and I purchased when we started boating in the Puget Sound 5 years ago. We have bought dozens of boating books since. This is still our favorite. We have worn it out and are now buying another copy to keep at the house. The descriptions of harbor entrances are more complete than other books we use - we always use Scherer's descriptions for new approaches. The book is fun to read - includes sidebars of historical or social interest. Nice photography and an eye-pleasing layout. (Tidal current charts are included in the appendix.)
Book Description
"Simply put, every local boater should have a dog-eared, well-thumbed copy [of this guide] as a permanent feature in the nautical library."—48° North
A Cruising Guide to Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands has earned an outstanding reputation for the accuracy of its piloting instructions, the clarity of its writing, and the high quality of its information. This second edition includes color photos and nautical chart segments throughout, as well as:
Approaches and anchorages for hundreds of bays, harbors, and inlets—many with annotated charts
- Weather, tides, currents, and commercial traffic patterns
- Local history and attractions
- 240 full-color photos
- 75 color chartlets

With at-a-glance ratings of every harbor and anchorage, A Cruising Guide to Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands is the definitive resource for Pacific Northwest cruising.
"Everything a yachtsman's pilot ought to be: shipshape and workmanlike in its approach, unusually well written, very thoughtfully researched."—Jonathan Raban, bestselling author, Waxwings: A Novel and Passage to Juneau
"All the necessary nuts and bolts about navigating local waters is found in A Cruising Guide to Puget Sound. . . . A welcome addition to the library of any Puget Sound sail- or powerboat owner."—Seattle Times
"An elegant, beautiful book. . . . For even those few boaters who think they know all Puget Sound has to offer, this invaluable reference guide will introduce them to hundreds of new places yet to explore."—48° North
"So complete that veteran cruisers will discover cruising grounds they didn't know existed or didn't consider navigable."—SAIL
"An encyclopedic sailing guide to area waters, written with exhaustive first-hand research to almost every cove and inlet, and complemented with a remarkable series of maps, charts, and pictures."—Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"Well written and full of tantalizing places."—WoodenBoat
"A keeper for my 'to take cruising' box."—Sailing
"A monumental book that gives minute details on every bay, waterway, and stretch of navigable salt water from Olympia to Port Angeles, including the San Juan Islands. It does an excellent job of explaining navigational hazards and anchoring peculiarities at each point along the way."—Bellingham Herald
Customer Reviews:
Must Have.......2007-06-14
This is a must have boaters book if you live in the Puget Sound area. Very detailed in the points of interest, each one is clearly described and rated. Some charting is included for difficult harbors, approaches are described. This gives us (new boaters and new Washingtonians) a great place to start in our explorations. Highly recommended!!!
Beautiful pictures.......2007-05-13
I bought the "A Cruising Guide to Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands" by Migael M. Scherer for an upcoming trip to the San Juans this summer. The guide has lots of information and beautiful pictures from the various inlets and towns of Puget Sound and the surrounding areas, but I was a little disappointed with the charts, which seemed to be just reproductions of USCG nautical maps. I think this guide tries to do too much, and would have benefited by concentrating on one locale or area. Some more defined charts would have been helpful also. Nonetheless, anyone who is a sailor will appreciate it, and I would recommend it to someone who is sailing those waters.
Love It~!.......2006-08-10
Very informative, well written, nice layout. Looking forward to much more future use! If I find gunkholing the Gulf Isl by same author next, I'm buying it!
Great Guide to a Great Place.......2005-08-28
An excellent guide to this outstanding cruising area; obviously well researched and very well written and compiled. From a pilotage viewpoint, it could be improved with a few, more detailed "chartlets" of some of the more difficult approaches and port/dock entries, but the first rate collection of photographs and especially the superb aerial photographs (by Neil Rabinowitz) provide make up for this very minor deficiency.
Excelent book.......2005-08-12
This is an excelent book for Puget Sound boaters, A DEFINATE MUST BUY!
It is very easy to find locations and is up to date. A crusing guide lists, Beauty/interest, Protection, Facilities, Latitude and longitude, Phone numbers and web sites of marinas, parks, etc. It also has many wonderful color pictures of area atractions, plus charts and tidal curent charts
This is a much better book than Gunkholing in the South Puget Sound which is eight years out of date.

Genealogists Must Have!.......2007-09-16
Every genealogist, amateur or seasoned, should by this as a reference book. Citing is key in genealogy and so is this book.
A Must Have for Serious Genealogists.......2007-08-16
This is a useful book. If you don't cite your sources, your information is not credible. Obtain the most recent edition of this book as the internet keeps creating new challenges for evidence citation.
comprehensive source citations.......2007-05-22
This book was purchased as a textbook for a research class. Hopefully, this book will help me correctly cite my future genealogy research sources. A book like this would have been helpful before leaving to research. Now I am stuck with some older information that will be difficult to trace back to the original source. It is great as far as it goes. This purchase has encouraged me to buy the Chicago Manual for a closer look at the complete style.
Falls short of expectations.......2004-04-17
This book is one of the better genealogy citation books on the market. I bought the book merely for examples, especially for help with new databases online. The examples that Ms. Mills gave are often hard to understand and few cover sources found on the internet.
A Must have.......2003-12-27
If you're a family historian/genealogist, this is a MUST HAVE book. As all serious genealogist know, citing your sources is one the most important aspects of giving your research the validity it deserves! This book makes it easy by giving clear and precise examples of citing sources from books, other family histories, information found on CD's, birth/death/marriage and other court records as well as citing internet sources.
