This original book with extensive details about the Falkland shores was originally written by Ewen Southby-Tailyour. Peter & Annie Hill have now written a pilot supplement and this should be used in conjunction with the book. For this reason they come as a package, the supplement has been produced from material collected by Pete & Annie during 1993-94 whilst in Falkland Islands waters. The supplement extends on the original text, and reflects the changes that have taken place in the Islands since the 1982 Conflict. It includes details on the numerous anchorages with many new supporting sketch plans, and advise on 'living' in the Islands in a small yacht.
