About the Author
James Clarke is an Ocean Yachtmaster Instructor. During his circumnavigation, he recognised the need for an easily accessible routeing guide that contained everything sailors would need to know to sail the Atlantic, Caribbean and Mediterranean at any time of the year. The Atlantic Pilot Atlas is the result of his painstaking work to compile such a reference.
