Meteorology can seem like a black art with the meteorologist
producing forecasts that seem to contradict what you are reading
from the charts. "The Sailor's Book of the Weather" takes the
confusion out of the forecasts and helps you answer, 'Why is that
happening?'
"The Sailor's Book of the Weather" introduces key principles
that influence the weather and gives the sailor the tools to
forecast from observations and make the most of the available
information. Wind, clouds and knowledge of weather patterns and
local conditions all contain ample hints to allow the informed
mariner to accurately predict the weather.
Illustrated with charts and over 100 beautiful photographs, this
book is a must for anyone who ventures onto the water, whatever
your vessel or experience. It should be carried aboard every boat
and is essential reading whether you are on the water, in land, on
the coast or venturing further afield.

Imray-Tetra charts for the Ionian and Aegean are widely
acknowledged as the best available for the cruising sailor. They
combine the latest official survey data with first-hand information
gathered by Rod and Lucinda Heikell. The chart is designed to be
used alongside Imray pilot guides of the area. Like all Imray
charts, they are printed on water resistant Pretex paper for
durability, and they include many anchorages, facilities and inlets
not included on official charts. This edition includes the latest
official data combined with additional information sourced from
Imray's network to make it ideal for small craft. It includes the
latest official bathymetric surveys. There has been general
updating throughout.
The Global Maritime distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is becoming
the all-embracing term for communication and data transfer between
ship and shore, and ship and ship. It's a highly automated system
of terrestrial satellite communications technology whose primary
role is to maintain safety of life at sea. Within the next five
years all vessels over 300 tonnes will be required to carry GMDSS
equipment. The seafaring nations of the world have together
established the rules and regulations for good working practices
within the system, and every serving and future navigating officer
will be required to hold the GMDSS General Operator's Certificate.
GMDSS for Navigators brings together in one publication the
knowledge required by anyone who wants to become a qualified and
competent operator of GMDSS communications equipment. It should
prove to be the accepted universal reference for GMDSS training.
SELLING POINTS
* All vessels will soon need to carry true equipment
* All navigating officers will need an operator's certificate
Under major international conventions that took effect in the
mid-1980s, navigating officers of merchant ships are required to be
able to evaluate all types of navigational information that relates
to command decisions for collision avoidance and safe navigation.
This requirement is embodied in the Department of Transport's
Certificates of Competency Class 2 and Class 1 (Master Mariner),
now catered for in nautical colleges and departments by BTEC HND
Nautical Science.

clear symbology." British Cartographic Society award judges
A beautifully illustrated sailing classic. This rare memoir opens
onto the early adventures of a 12-year-old boy sent to sea after
the tragic deaths of his sister and father and the impending
poverty of his mother. Not for these alone did the book draw great
reviews from The Times and The Spectator, when first published in
the 1920s. Recently, intrigued by this touching life story, his
grandson researched press clippings and documents that compelled
him to update and publish the book again, to reveal the full story
that must have influenced and spurred on his hero. Weathering
fierce storms and worse, in his first 8 years as an apprentice
mariner the boy grew into a fine young man, learning from and
appreciating the multicultured seamen about him as they ploughed
through the Asian trading routes, often fighting off formidable
pirates on the South China seas. On his first return home, now aged
20, Boughton arrived in time to save his mother from bailiffs and
life in a poorhouse. (He supported her to the end of her days.)
Exemplifying that steadfastness, he became a captain and then rose
to become the Superintendent of the Shipping Federation of Britain
as well as Member of the Marine Board for London. Notably, the book
reproduces the original illustrations by Shoesmith, the still much
admired artist of his day. The publication also includes old sea
shanties, knots and amazing facts regarding world religions and
more.
First published in the 1950s under the editorship of EE Benest and
later Konrad Nussbaum, the Imray map of the French inland waterway
system has always been regarded as the essential reference for
planning a visit to France by boat. It is now superseded by this
completely recompiled and redrawn edition by David Edwards-May, the
leading authority on World canals and waterways. The new
cartography includes improved detail and presents essential
information concerning distances and dimensions with a greater
clarity than on previous editions. The map continues to cover the
Low Countries and the western part of Germany and now also includes
large scale insets of the Paris region and northeast France. The
scale remains at 1:1 500 000
A pad of 25 plotting sheets and sight forms.
A sailing classic, of real life adventure, beautifully
illustratedTV Presenter JULIETTE FOSTER: "Captain George P
Boughton's maritime career began in 1881 at the age of 12, and
thanks to his grandson, the founder of GB Publishing Org, this
intriguing memoir of a life at sea is now available to a new
generation of readers." THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT: "His book is
genuine sea salt...warm colours of Mr Shoesmith's pictures accord
well with the romantic story [of days before steamships]" THE
SPECTATOR: "recalls emotions [on sea-life] that have fleeted from
the minds of most" First published in 1926, Seafaring - The Full
Story reveals that a life on the ocean waves was anything but
jolly: conditions were tough, the food was just about edible while
the work was back-breaking - although the salt-of-the-earth
camaraderie helped. As much a one-man reminiscence as it is an
elegy for a forgotten way of life, it's not hard to imagine a
gravely-voiced Boughton recalling the era of the 'large sailing
ships'. and why the world stopped being a better place when they
were forced off the sea. Boughton died in 1940 at the age of 71,
having worked his way up to the position of Superintendent to the
Shipping Federation of Britain. With the publication of these
memoirs, his contribution to our understanding of this area of
history will surely live on." In this edition of Seafaring, which
deals with ships and life aboard ships in the days before steam had
conquered sail, a Prologue is added that tells of the tragic
circumstances that led up to the author going to sea when aged
twelve. An Epilogue also reveals his fortunes since writing the
book. The men who spent the best part of their lives on sailing
vessels are now gone but fortunately Captain Boughton, as one of
them, committed to writing his first hand account of what their
lives aboard were really like. The salt of the sea is in these
breezy pages; they reflect the virile enjoyment with which the men
of whom Captain Boughton writes faced the hardships of their
existence. ~*~ The inclusion of several of the traditional sea
"chanties", with the musical scores, and the end-papers that
illustrate sailors' knots, add the final flavour to an inspiring
and enduring book.

A handy, splash-proof, on-the-water aide memoire of everything the
skipper and crew need to know - or find out quickly - when
cruising: from lights, shapes and sound signals to knots, ropes and
engine troubleshooting. With diagrams and illustrations throughout,
this quick reference guide will help to keep you safe when out at
sea.
With support from the Inland Waterways Association, Friends of the
River Nene and others, and drawing on his longstanding connection
with the river, Roger Green has thoroughly revised and updated this
popular guide. A new design includes thorough navigation notes
alongside more detailed maps of the canal and river, showing the
main features of the navigation. Helpful tables indicate mileages
and likely timings between locks to help with passage planning and
also provide further information on all the moorings, facilities
and services, many of which have been much improved in recent
years. Other features of interest such as canoe launch access and
portage points are also shown. Details of facilities, walking and
cycling routes and local history add useful information.
Photographs help to highlight points of interest along the way and
confirm this guide to be the essential companion for anyone
planning to navigate the river, whether by boat, canoe, bicycle or
on foot.

Heavy weather is a lurking spectre that most of us hope and plan to
avoid, but not even internet forecasting can make it go away.
Anyone intent on crossing oceans must be ready to deal with it if
it comes, as well it may. Even well-informed inshore and
continental-shelf sailors will inevitably be caught out sooner or
later. The object of this slim, quickly absorbed volume is to give
everyone, whatever their passage-making aspirations, a sound brief
so that whether they find themselves at the wrong end of a
force-six blow along the coast, or confronting serious waves far
out at sea, they are fully aware of their options for taking it in
their stride.
