Which guides/books for South coast sailing?

[Gwylan]

The French Bloc Marin has become first choice, with 'visit my harbour' or whatever it is called

Otherwise, we are clearing the shelves and can offer

RCC Isles of Scilly plus a free copy of Peter Kyne's A Sailor's Guide to the Isles of Scilly

West Country Cruising by Mark Fishwick. Used.

Southern Ireland Cruising Companion - Robert Wilcox. Pristine, last Summer's area of choice.

Cunliffe's Channel Chunterings, an old edition, but verbose none the less. Did help get into St Valery the other day.

Could chuck in the Bristol Chanel Blue Guide, everone needs it but someone might want it.

£10 each plus postage at cost - makes Cunliffe not such a bargain.

For the Channel the Imray chhannel pilot by Tom Cunliffe is great, with insightful advice on anchoring/mooring/ marina options as well as pilotage info.
Also comes with electronic charts download for iPad or iPhone which I find useful as a back-up.

For scilly isles another vote for the RCC book.
