Ceri talks to another great guest in the series Explore Sailing topics with Imray, together with The Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation.   

Today’s guest is Andrew Wilkes the editor of Arctic and Northern Waters pilot book. Andrew started his working life as a Radio Officer in the merchant navy but came ashore in his twenties to work in the telecoms industry. He’s been an active cruising sailor ever since with stints at the helm of everything from a dingy to a 67ft steel Challenge yacht.

He’s an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor who with his wife, Máire sail their 56 ft steel gaff cutter, Annabel J, to some of the world’s most remote places; from Argentina to the Baltic, and from the Faroe Islands to Alaska.

When not on his own boat, Andrew sails with the Ocean Youth Trust, a charity which takes disadvantaged young people to sea
