Book Description
Since his first visit more than fifty years ago, author Graham Hutt has sailed the coastline of North Africa extensively in a number of yachts, from a 29ft Stella to a 65ft schooner. His infectious enthusiasm for the Arab countries of the Mahgreb helped to open the region to cruising sailors, and it is again becoming popular as a destination outside of Europe. Di Stoddard has worked with Graham to update this fifth edition. This comprehensive guide provides detailed information on marinas, harbours and anchorages as well as introductory sections covering topics specific to the area, including the modernised formalities in most ports. In several locations new harbours have opened and facilities have markedly improved. Familiar Imray cartography is included throughout- harbour plans have been updated and extended to reflect changes, and many new photographs are included to assist navigation and inform the reader about this most beguiling region. Whether overwintering or on passage across the Mediterranean or down the Atlantic coast, North Africa is an essential cruising companion

The African-Bush Pilot

Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
The African-Bush Pilot The debut autobiography by Cecil Mullins is an auspicious success from the very first page to the last. He tells the breathtaking odyssey of his life from a small town Southwest Virginia boy to a well known, highly regarded pilot who flies the aircraft he dreamt of as a young man. His writing style is fast paced, graphic and often gritty with an occasional side bar of humor and ribald commentary about the fairer sex he encounters during his highly charged, adventurous career as a "Bush Pilot" and his unpredictable forays with non-scheduled airlines. The book is a must read. The reader will feel as if he is in the cockpit with the "Bush Pilot" as the fights the elements, warfare, mechanical and equipment problems and violent weather. It is a great book...you will not want to put it down. Go out and get a copy and experience the thrill of what you find as you turn the next page...and the next. Reaching the pinnacle of his career by surviving unbelievable mechanical failures and mishaps, violent weather, flying into African civil wars and revolutions in the dead of night to evade missiles and gunfire were but a part of the life he chose to live. He survived and prospered by his intellect, courage and unparalleled skill as a top flight mechanic, flight engineer, co-pilot and finally pilot and Captain of his own craft.
