Find Your Way at Sea, No Matter What
“Inherently interesting and fun to read . . . provides the clearest understanding of general navigation principles we've seen yet.”--BoatU.S.
“Thorough and authoritative.”--Sea Kayaker
“A definitive work of instant appeal to seamen of all levels of experience.”--The Navigation Foundation
