Why not take your boat to the Mediterranean next summer?

There are several ways of getting your boat to the Mediterranean. On the back of a lorry, via the French canals, four or five day’s non stop across the Bay of Biscay then down the Portuguese coast or spend the summer or two, gently coasting southwards, enjoying the harbours, cities, towns and villages of France Spain and Portugal.

This is not a pilot ebook, rather a passage plan and guide to the nicer places between the South Coast of the UK to the beautiful Mediterranean Sea.

It can all be done in easy stages, to suit a lightly crewed boat, with perhaps only a couple of people on board who are without ‘offshore’ experience.

Actually, it is a lovely way to explore a lot of delightful foreign places.

Contents

• South coast to Chenal du Four
• Planning the voyage
• Chenal du Four to La Rochelle
• La Rochelle to Coruña
• La Rochelle to Spain overview
• Coruña to Gibraltar

The passage from the UK down to the Mediterranean does not need to be like an 'outward' bound course.

If you follow the route, suggested by the author, who has sailed to and from the Mediterranean, many times, in all sorts of boats, you will find it a very gently cruise, making landfall each afternoon in a relaxed fashion.

If you want to learn how to navigate with GPS and Chart plotters safely then this book will give you enough basic information to get started.

Dead reckoning navigation was a wonderful and fulfilling ‘art’ form. Now that GPS is here to stay, there is no point whatsoever in having a sextant and tables on board and even the compass has become an aid rather than an essential. With the advent of chart plotters, free chart plotter navigation systems for laptops, your mobile communication device almost certainly having GPS built in, and probably Google or Bing maps, the necessity for paper charts is greatly diminished but not totally extinguished.

Whilst even with the most sophisticated of marine electronics there are still a few issues like tides and charts and the aim of this book is to simplify all those issues and get you heading for new, different, far away places.

Contents

• The hardware
• GPS or Chart Plotter programming
• Creating waypoints and routes
• Paper chart plotting
• Passage Planning - Electronic and Paper
• Tide tables and tidal streams
• Radar
• AIS
• English Channel Tidal Atlas
