The Coasts of Summer

#1935253 - 20/07/2008 21:42

An account by Anthony Bailey of a summer's cruise around Rhode Island and Cape Cod. Very readable although there are echoes of his other book 'The Thousand Dollar Yacht'. The book would have been seriously enhanced by the inclusion of a chart with which to follow his passages. The wee map at the start is just irritating as you keep having to turn back to it but especially for folk with less than 20/20 vision. Despite these moans I would recommend the book to anyone who potters around coastal waters.

The trick is to follow the journey on Google earth as you read. Its easy to download and associated photos are illuminating
