Landfalls of Paradise, 5th edition - Book

Earl R. Hinz and Jim Howard's Landfalls of Paradise: Cruising Guide to the Pacific Islands is published by the University of Hawai'i Press. The fifth edition (April 2006) runs 408 pages, with 142 illustrations and 102 charts. Hinz has sailed the Pacific since 1958 and logged 40,000 nautical miles in racing and cruising boats. Howard began his Pacific sailing in 1986 and has written for the Japanese cruising magazine KAZI.

New appendices in this edition explain Australia's entry procedures, which are stricter than at most Pacific landfalls. They also list information sources for each country covered, including cruising guidebooks, general travel guides, chart suppliers and key websites.
