Required on board all vessels 12 meters or more in length. Navigation Rules (Rules of the Road) is one of the items a Coast Guard boarding officer will ask for during routine "safety" inspections. David Burch has done an excellent job of emphasizing distinctions between the inland and international rules. His annotated table of contents allows the user to quickly and accurately access individual rules. This edition is more compact, easier to use, and less expensive than the U.S. Department of Transportation edition. Yet, it fulfills all requirements for having a copy of Navigation Rules aboard all vessels over 12 meters in length.

In this new Cruising Guide to the Hawaiian Islands, boaters will find the most comprehensive guide to the Hawaiian Islands ever published, with detailed coverage of 68 harbors and anchorages in the islands, including Midway Atoll. Carolyn and Bob Mehaffy have taken their sailboat into each of these harbors and anchorages during the past year and thus have the most up to date information on these destinations. The entry for each destination begins with a brief history of the place and description of what is going on there today. Then follow detailed instructions and a chart to assist boaters in locating the anchorage or harbor and in anchoring, mooring, or docking once there. A list of the facilities available at each harbor or anchorage will be of immense aid to boaters as they plan their cruises. In addition to the charts, hundreds of photographs illustrate the text. Introductory chapters cover such topics as history and culture, weather and currents, equipment, provisioning, and channel crossings. Cruising Guide to the Hawaiian Islands is an essential companion for all boaters who plan to cruise in the Hawaiian Islands whether by powerboat or sailboat.

Navagation Rules: Rules of the Road: For International and Inland Waters

Traditional navigation with a sextant, an almanac, and a book of tables is still thriving, even with the availability of accurate, cheap GPS receivers. Batteries sometimes go dead, and electronic devices fail, especially in salt air. Also, it can be satisfying and fun to work out a position and plot it, all on your own - but getting good at it requires some practice.100 problems is a self-contained book of realistic celestial navigation problems, including excerpts of all the necessary Nautical Almanac pages and sight-reduction tables, with answers and explanations.

One Hundred Problems in Celestial Navigation, Second Edition

Leonard Gray

Few of us can or even want to relate to the drama of fact and fiction seen in THE PERFECT STORM, yet the coastal and offshore waters in which we do our recreational boating often serve up storms of a magnitude that can make a believer out of the hardiest skipper. Even an imperfect storm can be a demanding exercise best handled with practical survival seamanship skills combined with a modern drag device. 
Boating literature is replete with incidents wherein sailors are unexpectedly put in a survival situation while pursuing their recreational adventures and many are found wanting in survival skills. Without those skills and not having a drag device on board when the chips are down, they find few survival options left other than prayer. When you go offshore be a little pessimistic and consider drag devices before you leave the dock--for afterwards may be too late. Avoid becoming a storm statistic like the ANDREA GAIL.

Most boaters know that they are required by law to carry a copy of this publication on board at all times. What many boaters do not know is that they must have a current edition on board. Out-of-date versions will not meet the requirement of a Coast Guard inspection and could result in a fine. Paradise Cay Publications’ edition is the most current Rules book available, even more up to date than the most recent Coast Guard edition. The new edition is correct through 10 June, 2000 Notice to Mariners. The new Navigation Rules from Paradise Cay Publications includes instruction on where to find the Notice to Mariners, as well as a section to record updates. This will allow mariners to keep their Rules book current. Navigation Rules from Paradise Cay Publications provides a concise yet complete copy of the Inland and International Navigation Rules to be carried on board for quick reference or study. This book is a reformatted version of the Government Edition. It is presented in a format that emphasizes the difference between the inland and international rules. The inland rules are presented in full; the inland rules that differ from the international rules are clearly marked and the differences are indicated in the second section of the book. This format makes Paradise Cay’s Rules about half the size of the government edition and eliminates the redundancy found in the Government edition. The other contribution added to help when studying the Rules or using it for reference is an annotated table of contents. This addition will guide readers to a desired rule. The topic of each subsection has been noted for quick reference along with the page numbers for Inland and International Rules. With all these added benefits provided in Paradise Cay’s edition of Navigation Rules they are still able to offer it at $9.95, the Government edition lists for $14.95.
