A lot of people are drawn to the sea, and for good reason - it's
the world's last wild and largely unspoilt wilderness. But to
properly enjoy the sea, and to do so safely, you must have the
skills, knowledge and confidence to plan thoroughly and stay one
step ahead of the game. This book is thoughtfully written to help
yachtsmen do just that. It's not another navigation textbook; it's
written by a mariner for other mariners. It's well-informed, easy
to read and honest about the author's triumphs and disasters over a
lifetime's navigating. He has a unique perspective having navigated
in many parts of the world from high up on the bridge of a warship,
close to the water in a cruising yacht and at depth in a submarine.
After his navy career he was Chief Executive of the Royal National
Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), often dealing with the consequences of
poor navigation. The author brings the subject to life in a book
that is designed to help yachtsmen refresh their knowledge of, and
their enthusiasm for, the timeless skills of navigation. It is
packed with hundreds of illustrations - colour photographs, charts,
diagrams and tables - making the text easy to understand. The book
is part of Fernhurst Books' Skipper's Library series of practical
books for the cruising sailor.
