Indian Ocean Cruising Guide

Ever since Alan Lucas's Red Sea and Indian Ocean Pilot went out of print some six years ago there has been a demand for a good general cruising guide to cover the routes from Europe to Australia and points in between. Rod Heikell spent two years sailing from the Mediterranean to Malaysia collecting data for this new pilot. Indian Ocean Cruising Guide covers all the usual points of interest for the cruising yachtsmen from history to climate, weather patterns, formalities, route planning and so on. The general sections are followed by a country by country round-up in which key ports are described in detail with the aid of harbour plans and photographs. The work is well illustrated throughout and there are colour plates. A4. 260pp. Hard cover. Colour throughout.
