Previous - Explorer Chartbooks - In 1995, Lewis Offshore LTD began its quest to provide cruisers with the most accurate and easy-to-use charts for the Exuma Cays. As long-time cruisers ourselves, we (authors Monty and Sara Lewis) knew personally the need for reliable cruising information so we used our own notations and surveys to produce the first Explorer Chartbook for the Exumas. The first edition, EXPLORER CHARTBOOK EXUMAS, was a looseleaf set of 24 charts accompanied by a small guidebook, followed by the second edition in 1996 which was the first bound chartbook. The true Explorer is always reaching for new islands on the horizon. In that light, Lewis Offshore continues to update their chartbooks giving you new cruising ground to explore!Simply the Best Charts of the Bahamas! The 'been-there, done-that, got-the-tee-shirt' cruisers flock to these charts, says Bruce Van Sant, author of Passages South.
