Cruising Association, 2005, on the first edition.
'On
some days the sun will be bright, the breeze ruffling the water, the swiftly
running tide chuckling and chirruping about the cable and hull calling “Come
on, let’s go” and you’ll be away on the tide bound for – where? Does it
matter? You’re under way and the whole estuary is there to be sailed.'

book updates and changes posted on the website,
England’s East Coast, between Lowestoft and Ramsgate, is loved for its
creeks and harbours, while its shallows and sand banks make for some interesting
pilotage. The authors are well-known commentators on the East Coast boating
scene and wrote this new-style guide to bring a fresh approach to pilot books.
With the outstanding success of the first edition, they have now produced a
fully revised second edition. Not only has the detail been brought up-to-date,
but the majority of the photographs have also been replaced. In addition, they
have enlisted the aid of a number of Honorary Port Pilots, and invite you to
meet them HERE.
The authors comment: “As all three of us live and sail on the East Coast, we
can truly say that the book is 'written by locals' using first-hand knowledge
that has been scrupulously cross-checked. In addition, we constantly maintain
this website, which is designed to help to keep the book current, by providing
immediate updates well before they are gathered into future printed editions of
the ‘East Coast Pilot’.
The rate of change around here is amply illustrated by the fact that there are
already several corrections,which have occurred since November 2007 when this second edition went to
print! Click on the 'Updates' button at the head of
this page for the latest information.”
We also have a NEWS
PAGE, which gets updated as and when we hear of relevant items of
interest.
