Mediterranean Cruising Handbook Paperback – April 21, 2012

Very thorough

Was rather disappointed. I expected something like a cruising guide with detailed information about ports, anchorages, etc. Instead, this is more or less a sailing 101 textbook. With very little in the way of specifics about the Med.

it has less specific information on countries in the Med and lots of general info for cruising

This book has very good general information on cruising in the Mediterranean, but Rod Heikell's Pilot series provide a more comprehensive guide to anchorages while still giving good general information about the coasts and islands for a cruising yachtsman - or woman!

I was very disappointed in this book. Almost half of it is filled with boating information like first aid, knots, different fish etc...If I wanted to Learn about seamanship I would have bought a copy of Chapmans. The information in this book about different ports in the Mediterranean is not very detailed. Not a good book for someone looking for information on marina's good ports verse bad ones etc...especially for the price of the book.defiintly not worth the money.
