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.
