East Africa Pilot/Лоция восточного побережья Африки

Книга на английском языке.
East Africa offers some beautiful cruising along the coasts of several colourful countries. However, it rarely gets a mention in cruising guides and most boats heading west across the Indian Ocean head straight down to South Africa, or go up through the Red Sea, missing out most of this unique continent.
To many people, East Africa conjures up visions of a coastline where the steaming jungle meets the sea, and where unendurable mosquitoes, crocodiles and savages prevent any forays ashore. To be sure you can find all these if you want, but they are the exception rather than the rule. This book aims to dispel such myths, and unlock some of cruising’s best kept secrets.
The information included is based upon the needs of boats cruising long distance under sail. The navigational information will also be useful to shallower-draft powerboats and game fishermen, and we have included abundant information for divers.
