Scottish Anchorage's is a web site that describes anchorages and what to do around them. It is not a pilot book. the web page has useful descriptions, pictures, interactive maps and index arranged geographically. The web sit existed some time ago but fell into disrepair and was almost lost. The auth...

I have taken part in, and organized many corporate pursuit races. Having had to make insurance queries a purist race is very much a race, hence insurance premiums need to reflect the risk. Eventually, I settled on the term, along with others on the committee, “timed passages” and it pleased the insu...

Signed. Thanks for sharing. If anyone is wondering once, you add in your details, you can choose not to display your name, if that is important to you.
