The author is a cartoonist with 50 years of sailing experience. More than half of the 50 years has involved taking out charter parties, providing insights into sailing that have allowed him to produce cartoons that amuse, entertain and inform. These are slices of life afloat and every yachtsman will enjoy the pictorial anecdotes. Most of the cartoons are reproduced in full colour.
This is a practical guide to navigation that makes no assumptions about the reader’s experience. Colour is used throughout the body of the book and there are a considerable number of illustrations that greatly aid understanding of what is a potentially complex subject. It deals very capably with the electronic navigation equipment that a modern vessel is likely to be equipped with and the explanation of these systems is straightforward.

This is a book that provides what it details on the cover. It is a very clear and concise guide for the new skipper or crew. The book is contained in a clear plastic cover with zipper so it should prove very durable. It covers planning, packing, equipment, clothing, weather, sealife, signalling, navigation, first aid, cooking troubleshooting and every thing else that pleasure cruising requires.

In history there are a very few weeks that are of significant importance to the world, but we are just completing one such week.
A number of events in Europe during this week have collectively been of great significance. The collective power and wealth of the countries that form the European Union make these events of immense importance to the world.
BSD decided not to comment on the events as they unfolded, but to reflect and research before posting comment.
That comment will be posted during the coming days.
In the meantime, we congratulate the people of the Irish Republic for their exercise of democracy in the face of bribes and intimidation
