BOAT NAVIGATION FOR THE REST OF US Finding Your Way by Eye and Electronics
Intl Marine Pub. Very Good. 1995. First Edition. Softcover. 0070081646 . Ex-library book but still in great condition - sturdy laminated cover and usual ex-lib type markings. Interior pages clean tight and unmarked. Cover has a little scuffing and price sticker on rear. Illustrated. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 220 pages; The popular texts would have us navigate our small boats using the same techniques found on an aircraft carrier. But these elaborately precise methods just don't work in the bouncy wet cramped cockpit of a typical pleasure craft. This is the first book to teach small-boat navigation the way most people actually navigate combining electronic aids like radar GPS and Loran with commonsense visual piloting and seat-of-the-pants chartwork. It explains in plain simple language exactly how to find where you are and get where you want to go with a minimum of fuss and contains many useful but relatively unpublicized methods specifically designed for use aboard the nation's 20 million small power- and sailboats. 492 .

Hardcover is as new clean & unmarked. Jacket has light scuffing and slight edgewear. Review: "MacInnis Does it Again The "Remembering." series transcends normal biography by showcasing top quality journalist's recollections with statistics and insights into the player and their game. Remembering the Golden Jet is no different. From Bobby Hull's early days playing minor hockey to his watershed defection from the NHL to play for Winnipeg a move that would rock the hockey world and force the league to re-evaluate it's salary policy forever. For Blackhawks fans this book charts the progress of a player who was feared by goalies everywhere for his blistering slapshot. I have read every Bobby Hull book out there and nothing comes close in it's insights in it's recognition of Hull as a true Legend of the game as this beautifully designed book. I can't recommend it highly enough. " 400 ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . Stoddart Publishing hardcover
