 The
second edition of this book has been completely updated and revised, following two visits
by John Marchment and accompanying research. It appears in full colour, and makes use of
plans which have been extensively redrawn, as well as many new photographs taken mainly by
the author. Waypoints have been introduced in this edition and the book is structured for
ease of use, including new sections on getting to the islands and the impact of their many
marine reserves. In the words of the author, this book exists for those ‘who wish to
sample the delights of this superb cruising ground.’
John Marchment’s photographs on the front cover are of
the fortress at Bonifacio and Porto Marina in the early morning.
A4. Soft cover. 213pp Colour.
 About
the Editor:
John Marchment
started sailing in 1946 in a Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter, Christabel, from Falmouth
and has, since then, sailed in most oceans of the world in all sorts of sailing craft,
ranging from a Firefly to a 12 metre. He has owned a Shearwater catamaran, a Contessa 26,
a Rustler 32 and a First 345. Initially his sailing was concentrated on the Channel
Isles/Brittany coast areas which are easily accessible from his home in Weymouth. In
1984, he was fortunate to find a job in La Spezia, where he spent 8 happy years
sailing/motoring in the Mediterranean with the First 345.
He has worked for the Pilotage Foundation for 9 years and has been responsible for writing
several editions of most of the western Mediterranean areas. |
