Books on sailing the Mediterranean

SAIP

Brand new to the site.

Any recommendations on this topic? If things work out I plan to spend much time cruising it in a nice Oyster.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Books on sailing the Mediterranean

Imray Pilots books are now online at Imray Explore.

I got a lifetime subscription on the Kickstarter so was good value for me, but an annual subscription is probably about the same price as 1 book a year, and you get global coverage.

Unfortunately it's online only at present.

Re: Books on sailing the Mediterranean

I used the Greek Waters pilot by Rod Heikel, the Italian Waters pilot by Rod Heikel, and if you have time I highly recommend time in Croatia, and for that I used the Adriatic pilot by Tom and Dinah Thompson.

I also took with me paper charts of the areas and they're all obtainable from Imray-iolaire via the web. The pilot books are phenomenal with very specific information, but they're not usable for navigation.

Sounds like an absolutely lovely time you're going to have!
