and best cruising ground in the world. Wonderful climate, beautiful
islands, nice people and for the most part very inexpensive. With
predictable weather and such good sailing winds it makes the
Mediterranean look like a very poor
relation.

the Island groups and anchorages. Pictures and chart details together with descriptions
of the islands.
Pictures, charts, distances, links to marina's and
faculties, weather and places to visit and what to see.......

coming from Europe and the second is an American Version for boats
heading south through the Bahamas & Turks and Caicos.

Why not take your boat to the Mediterranean next
summer?
GENTLE SAILING ROUTE
TO THE
MEDITERRANEAN
There are
several ways of getting your boat to the Mediterranean. On the back of a
lorry, via the French canals, four or five day’s non stop across the Bay
of Biscay then down the Portuguese coast or spend the summer or two,
gently coasting southwards, enjoying the harbours, cities, towns and
villages of France Spain and Portugal.
This is not a pilot book, rather a passage plan and guide to the nicer
places between the South Coast of the UK to the beautiful
Mediterranean Sea. It can all be done in easy stages, to suit a lightly
crewed boat, with perhaps only a couple of people on board who are
without ‘offshore’ experience. Actually, it is a lovely way to explore
a lot of delightful foreign places.
