pilot books for passage from Salcombe to Clyde next spring

not least as they are 80% inspiration and only 20% directions. Otherwise many using a pilot book might only go to the big marinas - and miss gems like Glac Mhor.

I sort of agree with this, but honestly Navily has entirely taken over that for us and once we’re in the area the books almost always sit on the shelf.
I did buy the full set though, and for Ireland. Both sets now swapping out into storage as we head south having barely been used

I’ve nothing against Navily, and would agree that CCC directions are not “essential”, especially with Antares charts, but there is something really nice about being able to sit at a full size book and flick to a plan your possibilities. So it depends how literally we take essential, and given my children have redefined literally we might be going down a recursive rabbit hole!
