Reeds & Practical Boat Owner. Small Craft Almanac/Ежегодник для маломерных судов

Welcome to the PBO Small Craft Almanac 2019. For UK waters, or for anyone venturing across the Irish Sea, across the Channel to France, or across the North Sea to Germany, Belgium, Denmark or the Netherlands, this is the ideal compact almanac for your bookshelf.
Compiled using the same trusted data as published in the full-size Reeds Almanac, this handy volume is for many a first port of call for tidal data. You'll find all the tide times you need, complete with tidal curves, pilotage and waypoints for major hazards and port entrances, plus detailed tidal atlases and tips on how to negotiate tricky headlands.
There are also contact details for harbour authorities and marinas, information on how to obtain and interpret weather forecasts, and at-a-glance checklists for safety procedures and first aid.
