Edition 24 of Riviera The Magazine continues to celebrate the Riviera lifestyle in its many shapes.

The cover story features a shake-down cruise by 79-year-old blue water veteran Ian Reynolds. Covering more than 800 nautical miles over the Pacific Ocean, the voyage prepared boat and crew for a circumnavigation of Australia, a distance of about 9,000 nautical miles. Future editions will follow Reynolds as he takes this incredible adventure.

Also in this edition, you can read the skipper's log of a voyage north along the eastern coast of southern Africa, from Durban to Dar-Es-Salaam.

We have practical tips on navigating your boat around a marina and berthing like a professional. Our Gourmet Galley section has mouth-watering dishes you can prepare on board. And if you are planning to catch some big fish for dinner, expert Alistair McGlashan shows you how.
