Description détaillée
Guide nautique en langue anglaise.
Well known to'ancient Norse mariners, the s'etland Islands offer a fascinating cruising ground for today's less warlike s'ilors. There are numerous beautiful, if sometimes rugged'anchorages, many harbours and several marinas all of which create a variety that ensures that one visit to these islands will not be the last.
Natural s'enery apart, one function of the ongoing d'ive to attract tourism is a strong appreciation of the benefits brought by visiting yachts, and this, coupled with the natural and very wel'OMIng grace of the s'etland people, ensures a hugely warm welcome.
Summer is the time to cruise these islands, one added benefit of their Northern location is the almost constant daylight, making both sightseeing and pilotage much more enjoyable. Summer is also the time when many of the island's towns and villages hold their annual festivals, often including yacht races and much waterborne hilarity. That is not to s'y that a visit in winter should be avoided- the annual festival of 'Up Helly Aa' at the end of January is an experience not to be missed. The riotous enthusiasm with which the ever-friendly s'etland'Islanders share their annual celebration of s'etland history is likely to d'aw summer visitors back time and time again.
Gordon Buchanan knows the s'etland Islands from visits over many years and presents détailed pilotage information on reaching and cruising this d'lightful'area.
