Default Cruising Routes - Literature

Do you guys have recommendations besides, but similar to, Cornell's
'World Cruising Routes' for armchair blue water cruising / far distant
trip planning?

Thanks!


You might be interested in http://www.noonsite.com or the "World
Cruising Handbook" both by the Cornells. BA has the "Ocean Passages
for the World" which is very good particularly if you can find an
early edition. However, like all things BA is is expensive. NIMA
puts out a series of "Sailing Directions (Enroute)" for various parts
of the globe. Most cruising guides, including Cornell's, crib
shamelessly from the BA and the "Sailing Directions". There are lots
and lots of guides to specific parts of the world and most of them are
more fun to read than the government pubs. For actual destinations
the "Lonely Planet" guides and various similar products are
indispensable.
