Showing results for "The Magic" in Water Sports

In June 2009, Caspar and Nichola created a plan to sail around the world with their young children. Most people thought they were crazy. But over the past seven years they've embraced every moment of this momentous chapter of their lives. Five years of planning - the vision, the values, the practicalities, the realities, the excitement, the highs, the lows and the seemingly adventure stopping obstacles - led to two wonderful years of living their dream - the magical and the scary, enjoying life and learning as a family.

Celestial Navigation for the Complete Idiot is groundbreaking not because of what it has, but what it doesn't have: no mathematics problems; no astronomical talk; and no big words you've never heard of. Sailor-author Gene Grossman finally breaks this wonderful subject down into plain English and explains it in such a way that you will no longer have any excuse to claim that you know nothing about the valuable boater's subject of celestial navigation.

This is the perfect book for any new boater or any person invited to be a guest on someone else's boat. It covers all the things not to do on a boat, with many suggestions on the proper conduct while aboard. Also included is an informative glossary of words not to say, when describing things on a boat. Lots of personal experiences are mentioned that show how to avoid becoming a jerk at sea.
