Books on
- anchoring
- celestial navigation
- tides
- long distance cruising
- weather analysis
- boat storage
- cooking underway
- heavy weather sailing
- and if you look long enough, you can even find out how to do
laundry.
You know Connie, I have several books that do a good job of
explaining, anchoring, navigation, weather, and all of the other
"vital" skills of seamanship. But I have yet to find one that offers
more than a passing nod to the more mundane skills a decent sailor
ought to know, like doing laundry with salt water, keeping clean,
disposing of waste at a marina (or elsewhere), etc. In my backpacking
days, there was (still is) a great book by Colin Fletcher called "The
Complete Walker," in which he went into excruciating detail about
just about everything you'd want to know about anything to do with
walking while carrying your entire household on your back. But I
haven't yet found anything similar to to that in the sailing world.
And yes, I've read all the Pardey's books. Anybody got any suggestions?
