“An easy book to read, it is well laid out and includes many first
rate photographs. The aerial views of harbours and their approaches
are excellent. Harbour plans are clear and plentiful. Aids to
navigation, particularly buoyage and lights on harbour approaches
are given in detail… The clear and approachable style is much
appreciated. It made me want to go back there!” (Royal Cruising
Club)
“The author has written using his own sailing experience. There are
plenty of stunning photographs and chartlets for each port … The
detailed information throughout appears good and definitely written
by a sailor!” (Cruising Association)
“His advice concerning wind acceleration zones is important and
observations on potential equipment damage, caused by high
salinity, is extremely practical.” (Yachting Monthly)
