Atlantic Islands : Azores, Madiera, Canary and Cape Verde Islands / Hammick, Anne. 1999.

"This third edition of Anne Hammick's definitive guide to the Azores, Madeira, Canaries and Cape Verde Islands contains extensive revisions from data collected by the author during her exploration in 1998. Throughout the text has been updated and amended, new plans have been introduced and many new photographs have been included. Since this pilot was first published over ten years ago, the island groups of the northwest Atlantic are being visited by increasing numbers of yachtsmen. Many yachts use the islands as a staging post in the passages across the Atlantic - the Canaries for yachts moving westwards to the Caribbean in the winter and the Azores for yachts on passage to Europe in the summer. The island groups however, are also interesting cruising areas in their own right. Over the last decade facilities have improved enormously and visiting yachts from Europe and North America now regularly cruise the islands. Anne Hammick's outstanding pilot provides all the information that visiting and cruising yachtsmen require for safe navigation and well-informed cruising."--Provided by the publisher.
