Издание на английском языке.
This publication arose from my discovery that there were many beautiful anchorages which were not only uncharted but not described anywhere. Furthermore, published information was often unavailable at the point in the cruise when it was needed. There was also the problem that some anchorages which were described were being overused and spoilt.
This book covers all overnight anchorages likely to be of interest to a yacht cruising the south and equatorial Pacific islands.
