About the Author :
Adrian Morgan was for 15 years the Daily Mail's sailing correspondent and has written for the Times, Telegraph, and Independent on sailing and travel. Formerly assistant editor on Yachting Monthly, he writes a column for Classic Boat. He has sailed the Atlantic twice, and cruised in the Caribbean, Europe, and Scotland, where he builds traditional wooden boats.

Review :
Sometimes, when it comes to cruising trips, it's not so much a matter of 'where to go' as it is 'how to get there.' In Essential Sailing Destinations: The World's Most Spectacular Cruising Areas no stone is left unturned, no haven unexplored. Sixteen sailors weigh in on the best places to cruise, including the coast of Australia, the Indian Ocean, Mexico's Gold Coast, Ireland and Scotland. Each entry includes full-color photos of the destination as well as a locator map, best cruising months, local languages and currency. Compiled in a wide hard-cover binding, each destination is rated by its navigational difficulty, family friendliness and facilities for diving, sightseeing and dining. A full index also includes useful Web sites and suggestions for further reading. This oversized, gorgeously illustrated hardcover book makes an excellent reference for comprehensive public-library travel collections, presenting a wide range of sailing areas around the world. Arrangement is by global region, including the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the North Atlantic (East Coast), and the Pacific Ocean; each entry is given a spirited textual profile, and each profile is preceded by introductory comments in chart form on such relevant topics as best cruising time, family friendliness, and sightseeing. Each spread covers one destination, giving a short description, photographs, and important details like chart numbers, best cruising times, prevailing winds and time zones. Get this book in your hands, and you'll be anxious to sail away tomorrow. In essence, this is a richly illustrated sailing-specific guide book. The color photos are great and will definitely whet the appetite. But the text entries, which come from some of the world's best known boating writers, will make you even hungrier for adventure....All you need to do is add water!
