Beyond the Sailing Directions

History, culture, geology, wildlife and places to visit ashore around the whole coast of Ireland, by Norman Kean and Mike Balmforth.

A companion to the Irish Cruising Club's Sailing Directions, by Mike Balmforth and Norman Kean, covering the whole coast of Ireland. It deals with what the sailing directions leave out: the history, culture, scenery, geology, wildlife, economy and monuments of the coast, with information on places to visit ashore and anecdotes from Ireland's nautical past.

A Yachtmaster Offshore and Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation, he has visited every harbour and anchorage described in the guide.
