A Visual Cruising Guide to the Southern New England Coast Portsmouth, NH, to New London, CT

The tens of thousands of sailors and powerboaters who cruise the coast of New England each summer will find in this revolutionary new book's detailed aerial photos of tricky channels and confusing harbor entrances the perfect complement to their charts and traditional cruising guides.

James L. Bildner is a life-long sailor and avid recreational pilot who shoots the photos for his books from his own helicopter. He owns a chain of upscale gourmet food stores in the greater Boston area and cruises the New England coast in his 52-foot Hinckley, Windward. A member of the Cruising Club of America, Jim has pulled together a network of local contributors to vet and detail the piloting instructions in this book. Jim is also the founder of the Literary Ventures Fund, a nonprofit with offices in Boston and New York, which invests marketing/promotion funds with commercial publishers to help exceptional works of fiction, literary nonfiction, and poetry find the audience they deserve. .
