Graham Swanson`s cruising companion to this beautiful part of Ireland provides background information that is not found in the traditional pilots & almanacs. His gentle commentary of places & people is a joy to read & conveys the spirit & atmosphere of the remote harbours & anchorages tucked into the rias of Southwest Irel&. The introduction contains an illustrated section on sea birds & each cruising section is lightened by recipes for traditional dishes from the area. The photography illustrates the text & balances the detailed Imray cartography with a sequence of specially commissioned photographs by Patrick Roach.
