Cast off the lines and discover 50 of the most fabulous off-the-beaten-track sailing destinations on our planet. If you own a sailing boat, chances are that you've wondered what it would be like to throw in your job, cast off and sail over the horizon. Here are 50 out-of-the way destinations to encourage you to sell up and go (or enjoy a temporary escape) with practical tips including formalities, the prevailing weather and GPS positions. The selection of locations is based on over 70,000 miles of sailing. Some (St Helena, Cocos Keeling) are classic yet remote destinations that have been favoured by circumnavigators ever since the days of Joshua Slocum. Others (in Japan, Patagonia or the Pacific Northwest) have been chosen as perfect examples of the attractions of those regions. Common denominators are protection from the weather, scenic beauty and historic and/or human interest. And the fact that, while solitude is not guaranteed, you won't be troubled by the arrival of a cruising flotilla or by a novice dragging anchor onto you. Each anchorage is introduced with a lively account describing the place, its history and people (if any) as well as the author and his crew's adventures. Each account is followed by a beautifully hand-drawn sketch of the anchorage and an information box.

From the Isles of Scilly to Portland Bill, this handy travel guide to the West Country ensures sailors make the most of every minute ashore. Arriving ashore somewhere often raises many questions for even the most experienced sailor: Where are the best anchorages and peaceful places to stop? What are the best routes for walks? Once you are fed and watered, how do I keep the family entertained? Where are the best beaches and where can I find laundry facilities? Sailors need a different kind of pilot guide and this book is their shore-side companion, helping them to explore and enjoy all the West Country has to offer. Without doubt, this stretch of coastline is Britain's most popular cruising destination. It offers a rich variety of coastline from the rugged, Atlantic feel of Scilly and Land's End, to the traditional Cornish villages between the Lizard Peninsula and Plymouth harbour. After Start Point, the Devon coastline softens and opens out to offer Dartmouth and the Rivers Dart and Exe working their way far inland to provide a wide array of flat-water cruising. Further east, you'll find the Jurassic coast with broad beaches busy with fossil hunters and places to stop if the weather is on your side. Illustrated with beautiful photographs and maps, this guide brings together the key information needed for your trip, along with Paul Heiney's brilliant recommendations, all in one handy place, freeing up valuable holiday time.

The restaurants and bars featured in Macpherson's compendium show us glimpses of Walter White's and Jimmy McGill's Albuquerque. From the Dog House to Savoy Bar and Grill, from Tuco's Hideout to Los Pollos Hermanos and every pit stop in between, Macpherson takes us on a tour of the Duke City's dreamscape of edible artifacts, connecting us to the on-screen heroes and villains we love and admire. Among the plethora of real diners, drive-ins, and dives in the book are "lost" locations marking the cultural heritage of Albuquerque's streets and acknowledging the temporary nature of film sets. Macpherson reveals how restaurants and bars undergo hours of painstaking transformation before appearing on the small screen. Colorful photography and descriptions of the food and drink accompany Macpherson's insider show analysis.

Chile is 4,300 kilometers long but never more than 350 kilometers wide, lined by the Andes to the east and the Pacific to the west, with the Pan-American Highway giving you just two choices: north or south. Traveling along that dusty road takes you to both the driest desert on earth and to impenetrable cloud forests barring the way to Patagonian ice fields. Here is the true magnet of this jagged knife-edge of a country: the unique landscape born of its geography and the gorgeous plant and animal life. Few things are more thrilling than climbing the coastal mountains to see both the Andes and the Pacific at the same time.Natascha Scott-Stokes's remarkable travelogue is based on fifteen years of living and exploring this South American California. Tales from the Sharp End: A Portrait of Chile offers both a love letter to Chile and a heartfelt lament for a country living at the sharp end of human folly and climate change.

In 1998 Tim and Lucia Amsden left their familiar lives in Kansas City and moved to the Ramah Valley in northwestern New Mexico, where they lived for the next two decades. Love Letter to Ramah recounts their experiences there, nestled among an eclectic and diverse community of loving, earth-rooted people. It is an evocation of the rich human and natural history permeating the area and of the importance--central to the traditional beliefs of Indigenous people--of living in concert with the living earth.Living in that place and within that community gave Tim and Lucia a profound and visceral understanding of our need to move the fragile blue marble of our earth back into balance. Just as important, it enhanced their awareness that we must shift ourselves into acknowledgement of and respect for our global community. It also gave them a firm belief that those things are indeed possible.

The reader will learn in an understandable jargon-free narrative the differing geologic details of the Moon, some of which can be seen with the naked eye, allowing an appreciation of the diversity of lunar landforms. Although the author is an accomplished deep sky astrophotographer, his current passion is re-popularizing the Moon within the amateur astronomy community by explaining the origin of the Moon, the evolution of its face, and introducing its geology to Moon lovers everywhere.
