North Brittany and the Channel Islands, by David Sadler
This wonderful cruising ground is possibly the most accessible way of 'going foreign' for UK sailors, as it is only 60 miles from the South Coast.
The advent of electronic navigation has done away with many of the fears of cruising these waters, even for an East Coast sailor more used to mud and sandbanks than rocks and strong tides.
