This book is an updated and expanded edition of a text that has been used in navigation courses for 30 years. It covers practical small-craft navigation (sail, power, or paddle), starting from the basics and ending with all that is needed to navigate safely and efficiently on inland and coastal waters in all weather conditions. It is for beginners, starting from scratch, or for more seasoned mariners who wish to expand their skills. Topics include: Charts, Chart Reading, and Chart Plotting Instruments and Logbook Procedures Compass Use Piloting and Dead Reckoning Lights and Buoyage Tides and Currents Rules of the Road GPS and other Electronic Aids The GPS tells us where we are and how fast we are moving in what direction, but it can never tell us the safest, most efficient route to our destination. That fundamental task requires the basic navigation skills taught in this book, which we can use as well to check the GPS underway, and then be prepared to navigate without the GPS if we need to. The hallmark of good seamanship is to look ahead and be prepared. The text covers not only the long tested traditional methods of navigation but also the efficient use of the latest technology in electronic navigation and charting.Binding Type: Paperback

ws merwin's collected poems
Format: Hardcover
it's a hardback and it's in great condition. apparently it's a library book that has been in more than one sale, at one point someone had put a price of fifty cents on it. it's sad that arguably one of the better modern writers did not find a permanent home but that meant a great deal for me. also, i hope the reason the book started its journey wasn't because the library folded but that might explain why the book left the shelves to begin with.

Better than Expected
Format: Paperback
Though the title impied there were new poems in this volume, I found some of my favorites, but
didn't notice any new ones. Never mind, they are wonderful, and I liked this book so much, I purchased
a copy for a friend and published poet, who's poet in the schools, Grace Grafton, who is familiar with
Merwin's writing. That made both of us happy.
On a practical level, it is easier to schlep a single volume with you than three of four,when what you
want is 'La crΓͺme de la crΓͺme.'
Makes a welcome addition to any collection, a great gift to introduce Merwin, and a pleasure to read
the smooth, ariculate poetry that is food for the soul.

They're asking for more!
Format: Paperback
The nephews (10 & 8) love reading these! They actually put their tablets down and choose to read! I bought this one and another so once it was read, the nephews swapped and had more adventures! They're asking for more!
