Reviews

"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)
