About the book >.>.> Perhaps the most important acknowledgement in a seventh edition is to the authors of the previous editions. We should particularly like to thank Gavin McLaren author of the 6th edition for providing us with such an excellent starting point. An equally important acknowledgement is due to John Lawson author of the companion volumes North Brittany and Channel Islands and South Biscay. John’s superb pilots overlap North Biscay by a short distance in the north and by a much greater distance in the south. John has generously allowed us to use his material in both areas. South Biscay covers the Gironde in great detail and the brief coverage of the major ports in this volume is extensively based on John’s research. Another big thank-you is due to Patrick Roach who took the aerial photographs that are such an important feature of this book. The authors took the majority of the sea-level photos but we should like to thank Sally Muir and Mike Saunders for additional photos. While compiling this volume we have been given help and advice by SO many yachtsmen harbourmasters marina staff and local people that we are unable to thank them individually. Thus we must simply thank all the friendly helpful people who cruise and live in North Biscay and who make cruising there such a pleasure. Some people have given us so much help and local knowledge that their contribution needs to be recognised individually. These include Chris Austin (Lady Beth) Christopher and Sally Buckley (Wandering Moon III) Tony Boas (Bold Warrior) David Darbyshire (Eleanor Mary) Michael and Jennifer Forster (Border Rival) Sally Muir and Martin Nash (Arabesque) Mike and Liz Redfern (Dafony) . Robin Markes drew our attention to a number of fascinating and historically important naval battles that took place in North Biscay. (MP)
