Wow!

This book is for sailors who already know the basics and who want to deepen their understanding of situations that can occur on the water. Around 100 clearly titled situations are presented. These situations include optical illusions, navigational traps, drift, currents, and other things that can go wrong on a sailboat. The color drawings and diagrams are excellent in showing what is really going on and then also in showing what the boaters might see from their boat. These pictures are worth TEN Thousand words. A home run.
