Great read with lots of interesting information on our coast. I’ve lived on the British coast all my life and I found ‘Home Waters’ a real eye opener.
If you spend time by the sea, you can’t help but wonder why some things are the way they are, or why they behave the way they do. It’s great to have such an accessible book to explain some of what’s going on, and it usually adds to the wonder.
As an avid sailor delighted to discover this interesting book.
Days spent in the water do not count.
