What sort of nerds write pilot books? Looking back on writing books for the Med (and other places) Rod Heikell feels a bit of nostalgia for those nearly forgotten skills of pilotage, seamanship, and the joy of sailing. With no GPS or computer aided design, things were a little different from today. Surprisingly some things remain the same, but fortunately you don't get arrested for drawing a harbour plan or taking photos of them any more.
Rod has been cruising the Mediterranean for 35 years with excursions to SE Asia, the Caribbean and a circumnavigation. He has written over 20 books and been translated into six languages. After the break he will run a q+a session on any or all of these topics.
