The book combines practical navigational information with local advice and experience, making it an invaluable tool for both experienced long-distance sailors and those planning their first adventure along this spectacular coastline. With its level of detail and broad coverage, it is considered a must-have for anyone wishing to explore one of the world’s most unique and challenging sailing regions.
