Preparing this 16th edition of the CA Almanac must have had its problems. The area covered stretches from Bergen to Gibralter yet when this volume went to press, these countries were scarcely coming out of lockdown. Good for the editors’ concentration maybe, less good for last minute on-the-spot checking and impossible to feel confident offering advice for the year ahead, especially with the Brexit wild card. Clearly this is where the in-depth strength of a membership organisation proves its value. The information is as detailed and clear as ever; the advice on cruising in the time of Covid is obviously sensible and useful Brexit questions are indicated.  Updates are promised via the CA website.
