Despite his age (edition 2009) and in 2014 even made us a trip in southwest Ireland between Baltimore and Dingle excellent services. Although many navigational aids has changed in the meantime, individual pontoons have been added, buoys sometimes changed, but on the whole still quite up to date. On new charts you will not do without anyway. Good detailed plans, a lot of nice photos, good descriptions partly with aerial photographs of interesting controls, information on supply. Recommendations for shore excursions, restaurants, pubs are plentiful. For trip planning and carrying out a still very helpful book. Should I come to the region again, the Cruising Companion is also there, although somewhat unwieldy on the dimensions of her for the baggage.
