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)
