The Baltic Sea and Approaches (4th edition)

Since the previous (2010) edition significant new regulations have come into force particularly regarding the discharge of sewage and permitted levels of alcohol. The planning information is meticulous and the lists of websites, chart sources etc impressive. New harbours have opened and some have closed (no more Padilski for those on the Racundra trail). The necessary concentration on places that have developed visitor facilities sometimes overlooks those that have not (the inland waters of Latvia perhaps?) -- which leaves plenty of scope for individual exploration. This is an enticing guide to a complex and fascinating area.
