Don Dodds explains in a very readable no-nonsense manner the science behind anchoring, weather, navigation and just about everything else for the serious mariner. At first the science was a little daunting but understanding proved utterly rewarding. This is an invaluable reference book by a very experienced sailor that will remain permanently in the boat library.
