6 "Non-Nautical" Books About Some of the Places I've Cruised I love to read books about the places I am cruising through. Here are six "non-nautical" (i.e., not written by cruisers) books about some of the cruising grounds that I have enjoyed. - The Gulf of California
The Log from the Sea of Cortez, by John Steinbeck - The Panama Canal
Path Between the Seas, by David McCullough - The Chesapeake Bay
Chesapeake, by James Michener - Florida
A Land Remembered, by Patrick Smith - The Caribbean
Caribbean, by James Michener - Pirates of the Caribbean
Cup of Gold, by John Steinbeck (This is Steinbeck's first novel and the only historical novel he ever wrote. It is a fictionalized account of Henry Morgan, one of the most fascinating pirates who sailed the ocean blue.)
