Anchoring in the Mediterranenan |
| A book written for all those yachtsmen and women who spend some time on the côte d'Azur in a sail or motorboat, whether a rented one or as owner.
The book is in French and English so almost everbody can read it.
We tried to locate the most suitable places to spend the day or the night at sea safely anchored.
Many places you probably know and many you may have never seen.
Thus the book gives you clear instructions as to how to get to a bay, cove or creek, information on the quality of the anchorage, the wind and sea protection and its ameneties such as beach, restaurants and visits.
As a first in a series that will eventually cover the whole coast of the Mediterranean we hope this will be a practical guide to asssit you when you choose to spend your weekends and holidays on the water.
