Cruising Cork and Kerry

Starting at Yougal and finishing at Tralee, just short of the Shannon, Graham Swanson's cruising companion to this beautiful part of Ireland provides background information that is not found in the traditional pilots and almnacs. After threee extended cruises in 'Balair' the author has put together a well-planned guide which not only provides the sort of invaluable navigational information that is needed as a companion to Admiralty and Imray charts, but also describes places to visit and explore. Graham Swanson's gentle commentary places and people is a joy to read and conveys the spirit and atmosphere of the remote harbours and anchorages tucked into the rias of Southwest Ireland. The photography illustrates the text and balances the detailed Imray cartography and sequence of specially commissioned photographs by Patrick Roach. The introduction contains an illustrated section on sea birds and each cruising section is lightened by recipes for traditional dishes of Cork and Kerry. A4. Soft Cover. 200pp. Full Colour.
