| REVIEWS All but 30 pages of this guide is filled with descriptions and mud maps of anchorages. The maps are rather basic by modern standards (there is no colour or photos) and the sea floor composition is not mentioned but if you are going this way it is jam packed with nooks and crannies all along the coast where you can tuck safely away.
