The Adlard Coles Book of Mediterranean Cruising 5th edition/Особенности средиземноморского яхтинга 5-е издание

Книга на английском языке
To make sense of the Mediterranean you need to turn the concept of ocean cruising inside out. The Pacific and the Atlantic are all about large tracts of water with some land around the edge and a few little dots of land scattered around the water. In the Mediterranean, the land defines the sea and you cannot sail in a straight line for very far without bumping into the stuff. The lands around occupy the sea and hence shape its character.
