For anyone who has ever fallen under the spell of the Mississippi,
it is hard not be a little jealous of Bob Deck. A deckhand as a
teenager and a Harbor Captain by the tender age of 22, Deck worked
the big river during the 1970's and 1980's, a boom time for the
Twin Cities barge business. Like Mark Twain and George Merrick
before him Deck paints a vivid and nostalgic portrait of a working
life on the river. And for budding river rats, he also provides
practical tips on how best to guide barges through certain tricky
stretches of water in St. Paul. -Mike Mosedale, reporter and river
lover Ride on the Mississippi River with Captain Bob and share in
his adventures as he navigates through floods, weather and curious
passengers aboard tugboats and sternwheelers at the head of
commercial navigation for the Western Rivers. Meet the pilots and
deckhands that make their lives and living on the Mighty
Mississippi. See the river through the eyes of a man who grew up on
riverboats.
Secret Anchorages of Brittany provides concise pilotage directions
for practically all the natural anchorages along the Brittany
coast, from the Bay of Mont St Michel round to the great estuary of
the Loire.As with the first edition, the anchorages start near Cap
de la Hague on the Cotentin Peninsula and include Iles Chausey. The
book enters Brittany waters near Cancale and follows the whole
300-mile coastline, with its rivers, estuaries and offshore
islands, looking into every nook and cranny on the way. This
stylish second edition includes many new anchorages and is lavishly
illustrated in colour, while the anchorage charts have been redrawn
and verified against the Admiralty or French SHOM charts.The
pilotage sections are peppered with short features on the maritime
traditions, life and history of this inimitable coast. Peter
Cumberlidge is a well known writer and photographer who cruises
widely under sail and power. He always returns to Brittany with
affection and the new Secret Anchorages reflects his sympathy for
this fabulous cruising area, the people who live here and the
superlative seafood for which the coast is justly renowned.
