ADRIATIC PILOT (8th EDITION)

Trevor and Dinah Thompson, Imray

If this summer has necessarily become a time for future planning rather than present adventure, Trevor and Dinah Thompson’s guide has much to offer. It covers Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and the east coast of Italy, from Trieste to Otranto – a varied and often beautiful cruising ground. They’ve been exploring the Adriatic since 1984, when the likes of Albania were off-limits. They’ve observed changing political and social attitudes together with a dramatic development of yachting facilities. These days the Thompsons often arrive as trailersailors, which seems temptingly accessible. This edition includes a download voucher for Imray’s digital charts – encouragement to do more than just dream?
