About the Author
About the author
Stephen J. Pavlidis has been cruising and living aboard since 1989. First aboard his 40′ cutter-rigged sloop, IV Play, and today he is cruising aboard his 31′ Chris Craft, Swan Song.
Starting in the Exuma Cays, over 20 years ago, Steve began his writing career with guides to the many fascinating destinations he visited. Many of his books stand alone to this day as the quintessential guides to the areas he covers.
His 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.
