Our list of pilot books is being reinforced by additional titles which provide in depth information on shoreside facilities and this new title covering NW Spain from Ribadeo to Bayona is a new companion guide to that area.
The authors have spent several seasons cruising in the area and using their local connections have produced a modern guide that provides all the information necessary for yachts spending time visiting the r?as and ports of Galicia. Annotated town plans show facilities and recommended restaurants and side panels provide interesting reading on places to visit, local customs and features of interest.
Carlos Rojas has sailed yachts since the beginning of this century, a short but intensive career during which he has crossed the Atlantic, cruised in the Pacific, made several passages across Biscay, sailed to Ireland and to France. His professional involvement in technology companies as an engineer, manager and director has given him an insight into design and usability that he tries to apply to pilot books. Carlos has lived most of his life in Britain but he is originally from Spain, a country that he knows well. Galicia is one of his favourite areas.
Robert Bailey was brought up in a sailing family. Over a period of 35 years, and with the aid of a Nicholson 32 and Rustler 36, much of the coastline of the north western approaches to Europe, from the Faroe Islands in the north to the Morbihan in the south, were avidly explored. In 2001 he adopted a more flexible approach to his career as an aerospace engineer and this allowed him to take up cruising instruction. He is now a Yachtmaster Instructor.
