The East Coast has established itself as the outstanding companion for anyone sailing on the East Coast be it in the Thames Estuary or the Medway, the estuaries and rivers of Essex and Suffolk or the tidal havens of Norfolk and the Wash. Derek Bowskill's style of writing needs no introduction. His lively and highly individualistic commentary provides background information gathered from frequent visits to the area and, as well as being an entertainment, The East Coast is also an essential pilot. Throughout, the work is supported with key data for navigation and on facilities for each port and harbour. In this new edition the text and data have been thoroughly revised and plans have been completely redrawn and are published in colour; many now appear at significantly larger scales showing more detail, especially of up-river areas.
