Reading materials: What you really want!

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide
the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn
for the vast and endless sea..."
Antoine de Saint Exupery

New Release: Happy Hooking - The Art of Anchoring - 2nd Edition by (us!) Capt. Alex Blackwell & Capt. Daria Blackwell Unless you are far offshore, at some point or another you are going to need to park your boat. Just like knowing how to stop your car before you start is perhaps the most important part of driving, we feel that anchoring is perhaps the most important skill you can and should acquire in boating. Happy Hooking is a very readable book loaded with valuable information on anchoring tackle, anchoring technique, tying up and rafting, anchoring etiquette, as well as the occasional anecdote - simply stated a must have! (if we don't say so ourselves) 357 pages, many illustrations & pictures $29.95 plus postage & Handling For more information or to order, click here
