This companion
to the South Atlantic Circuit covers several less well-known stopovers. Numerous
free anchorages are included, where cruisers can enjoy the unspoilt South Atlantic
coastline of South America. Over 90 newly drawn plans accompany the pilotage information
for destinations from Natal, Brazil in the north to Caleta Horno, Argentina in the south.
Havens & Anchorages has been compiled from
contributions collected by the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation and information
collected by the author. Entries are based on pilotage, and information given about most
locations includes facilities, formalities and local attractions.

About
the Author: Following a career in education, Tom retired after being a
member of a mathematics advisory team in London. With his family he set sail in his
self-built GRP foam sandwich yacht for South America, via the western European coast,
Atlantic islands and South America. There he became a columnist and contributor to SA
Yachting and SA Shipping & Fishing magazines. He sailed the coast and
produced his first South African Nautical Almanac - On board Publications
published the fifth edition for 2002/3. With his wife, Sue, he travelled all over South
Africa. They co-wrote the Boat Trekkers Guide, the definitive work on where to
launch a small boat in the republic.
He
returned by yacht to the UK via South America, the Caribbean and the Azores. Once back, he
set up On Board Publications with his wife: initially to publish budget-cost sailing
guides in the Afloat & Ashore series. During his travels he compiled the South
Atlantic Circuit and Havens & Anchorages. |
