The perfect companion for anyone who wants to cruise the
Mediterranean, whether on their own yacht or chartering. The
Mediterranean is the dream destination for many chartering a yacht
as well as long-distance cruisers. Its myriad delights - the
beautiful coastlines, the remote islands, the sleepy villages and
exciting cities - draw boaters from all over the world. Rod Heikell
is the undisputed expert on Mediterranean sailing and the Adlard
Coles Book of Mediterranean Cruising is the complete guide for
anyone cruising in the area. Thoroughly updated for this fifth
edition, the book conveys the magic of Mediterranean cruising, as
well as giving practical, first-hand advice on sailing these
enticing waters. Although the Mediterranean provides wonderfully
diverse cruising opportunities, it can also deliver a few surprises
to the unwary. This invaluable handbook provides sound advice on
everything you need to know: anchoring and berthing; what weather
to expect; facilities and the costs of keeping a boat there; as
well as advice on navigation, popular routes, formalities and what
to expect ashore. Each country around the Mediterranean is covered,
and there is even a handy section on how to cruise the area on a
tight budget.
This fully updated 6th edition has had a complete facelift and is
now published in full colour in a new format. Throughout, the work
has been updated, and in places expanded. It now includes a list of
useful waypoints and routes ofr the entire Mediterranean which are
shown on overprinted charts folded into the back of the book. The
Mediterranean Cruising Handbook is a constant companion to the
Imray Mediterranean Almanac and provides information on climate,
equipment, radio, naviagation, routes to the Mediterranean,
history, marine life, food and basic information on each
Mediterranean country.
This cruising guide for ocean voyagers provides invaluable
passage-planning information for tried and tested routes around the
world. Climates and weather patterns, currents, seasons and timings
are key to selecting routes, but just as important is knowing
something about the countries that you will arrive in. Details of
the expected formalities and regulations are followed by essential
information on key landfalls, accompanied by the first-hand
observations of well-known world sailors and authors Rod Heikell
and Andy O'Grady. Text and plans have been updated for this third
edition which is illustrated with a number of new photographs to
inspire both dreamers and passagemakers. "I have recently been
planning a voyage from Trinidad to New Zealand using Ocean Passages
and Landfalls by Rod Heikell and Andy O'Grady. The book has been an
exceptional resource. The mass of information on a wealth of
subjects is excellent. The layout is beautifully put together and
very accessible. The pilotage and chartlets will be invaluable. The
book will certainly be travelling with me and I cannot recommend it
highly enough to anybody who is planning ocean voyaging." Theresa
Kewell, S/Y Mr Blue 'This is a 'blue planet' book. Its scope is
awe-inspiring as it takes an overview of the globe as the
yachtsman's potential cruising ground... It is of course possible
to glean all the macro information from scientific geophysical
sources, but the personality and experience of the authors adds an
indispensable ingredient.'
The title of Rod Heikell's latest writing only hints at this book's
content and coverage. Five years ago the author and his wife, Lu,
set out on a circumnavigation and the opening part of The Tradewind
Foodie is an account of the successive eastbound passages first to
the Caribbean and then on through the Panama Canal to the Pacific,
Australia and the Indian Ocean. There's plenty of practical advice
as well as entertaining asides in Rod's inimitable style on the
incidents that contributed to the adventure. Throughout, however,
there is a slant towards provisioning, cooking on board and
discovering food and restaurants at the numerous landfalls. Rod
Heikell provides an extensive selection of tried and tested dishes
in the second part of the book. Cooking at sea is an art and Rod's
selection provides a great range of recipes that are practical
under most sea conditions. "Whilst taking you from the
Mediterranean on a whirlwind trip west-about the world, dealing
with food and provisioning as they go, Rod and Lu also incorporate
a surprising amount of interesting information into this
book...Having successfully tried a few recipes at home, with their
straightforward ingredients list and instructions, I would have no
hesitation in trying the rest on board. This is a useful, practical
book which also makes for fascinating reading..." Sandy Duker,
Cruising Magazine.

Danube from Bavaria to the Black Sea. The Danube is illustrated

Mediterranean. His books are based on first-hand research and
provide an acclaimed blend of clearly presented technical data as
well as historical and background information.
