Wildlife of Coastal Waters British Isles Tony soper

The inshore waters of Britain and Ireland are home to one of the world''s richest concentratations of wildlife. Sail the coast and splendid birds like gannets and fulmars keep you company in the hope of a fish handout. In summer, tire pigeons may rest om board a while, or may even decide to give up racing.
With luck, dolphins will leap in your bow wave, and at night your wake will flash with living phosphorescence.
Seals will show a tolerant interest and fellow mariners like jellyfish will sail closehauled or by-and-large, according to their species.
This book should find a place on every sailor''s cabin shelf, in every cruise passenger''s duffle bag, and with ecery cliffwalker''s binoculars. It tells you most of what you''ll every want to know about the surface phenomena you''ll meet on passage or looking out to sea, and it is enhanced by spcialle commissioned watercolour paintings that bring the sea to life.
