The RYA Book of Caribbean Cruising by Jane Gibb, Adlard Coles Nautical, London, ISBN 0-7136-5431-7, was released in August 2002.

This book is a 'must have' read for doers and dreamers alike. It answers many questions for the cruiser or charterer planning on sailing in the Eastern Caribbean from the Virgin Islands to Trinidad. Some of the subjects covered are Customs regulations and currencies, obtaining stores, doing repairs, laundry, email and much more. It's not all hard work, however, for there is plenty of information on the delights of cruising the warm clear waters of the Caribbean.

Illustrated with photos by her husband, John, plus Jane's pen and ink sketches.
