| Book Description | Aerial photographs by Patrick Roach. The South coasts of Devon and Cornwall are the first or the last many mariner has of England. Whether running up-channel, bound east for London and Northern Europe, or beating ever westwards out into the stormy Atlantic, these shores have been a haven, a guide, and occasionally, the source of ruin. All we who have made the traverse or have sought shelter in the multitude of harbours between Portland Bill and the Isles of Scilly, have had to carry out our pilotage from the decks of a vessel of some sort. How often we have longed for the wings of a sea eagle, to see what we cannot see. Powered flight has finally given us this chance, and Patrick Roach, the maestro of the airbourne camera has so excelled himself with this series of images that our mutual friend the publisher has had little choice but to bind us into one volume to share the wonders he has revealed. So stretch out your wings, give a wild seagull's cry, and let's take to the skies together, bound out for the far west. |
| About the Author | Tom Cunliffe learnt how to sail in a 22 ft gaff sloop as a teenager on the Norfolk Broads. After nearly being killed in a motorcycle accident at the age of 19 he read Law at university, but chose not to enter the profession. Instead he worked as Mate on a coasting merchant vessel before chartering and delivering yachts. He has been a sailing tutor for 35 years, at one point running his own sailing school in the south of France, and has been a qualified Yachtmaster examiner since 1978. Cunliffe has been a regular contributor to Yachting Monthly, Yachting World and SAIL magazine for many years. A professional writer since 1986, Tom Cunliffe has won the Best Book of the Sea award twice, for Topsail and Battleaxe and Hand, Reef and Steer.[4] In 2010 he presented the award-winning six-part BBC documentary series, The Boats that Built Britain. |
