About the Author
Circa l’autore
Stephen J. Pavlidis has been cruising the islands of The Bahamas and Caribbean aboard his 40′ cutter, IV Play, since 1989. In 1993, he met Ray Darville, then the Warden of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, who drew Steve into a working relationship as a volunteer Deputy Warden. In this role Steve quickly gained an intimate knowledge of the waters of the Park and the Exuma Cays
Realizing that the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park deserved a bit more recognition than is given in even the best guides to the area, Steve and Ray produced A Cruising Guide to the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. The favorable response to that publication led to the publication of The Exuma Guide in 1995, covering the entire Exumas island chain in addition to the Park. The Exuma Guide, has been thoroughly updated for this new edition. Steve has resurveyed the region, updated all the information, and offers many new aerial photos and charts to assist you in navigation.
Steve’s books are different than most other cruising guides in some very significant ways. All of the charts in Steve’s books were created using data personally collected while visiting each area using a computerized system that interfaces GPS and depth soundings.
You can find out more about this exceptional author by visiting his Web site, www.Seaworthy.com where there is current news and information about Steve’s latest projects, as well as contact information.
