Cruising In Strange Waters

Out Of Print... Many years of varied cruising experience have provided the authors with a fund of useful and entertaining information on the pleasures and pitfalls of cruising in strange waters. This book describes the picturesque ports and sailing areas around our shores, and ventures into waters as far apart as Chesapeake bay and the Baltic Sea, including the French and Danish Coasts. The delightful illustrations by Dennis Mallet, and the wealth of personal anecdotes, make this the ideal fireside companionbut it is also very much a practical book, providing detailed advice on all aspects of holiday cruising for both the novice and the more experienced sailor. Somewhere, the authors describe the typical yachtsman as 'an odd mixture of poet, pub crawler and pottering pioneer'and that is what this book is all about. "It is stating the obvious to say that David and Joan Hay know what they are talking about. Their book is literally chock-a-block with cruising know-how". Yachting and Boating Weekly "This is a magnificent book of convenient size both for the domestic shelf and for a boat of any tonnage". Cruising Association Bullet "This is a book which any owner new to cruising must buyboth for pleasure of reading and information". Yachting Monthly
