by James Kavanagh Waterford Press, Waterford Press Waterford Press

Overview

Getting out on the water adds a whole new dimension to your explorations of nature. You can see landforms from an entirely different perspective, and encounter aquatic species that are difficult to spot from land. Regardless of your water craft, boating requires practice, skill, and the proper know-how. Covering everything you need to know about boating laws, safe operation of water crafts (boats, sailboats, and jet skis), useful knots, navigation, signals, weather, boating hazards, and emergency first aid, this guide provides all the information you need in one place. Waterproof for durability, this 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific lightweight companion to have on hand in your jacket, daypack, or onboard the craft itself. Those teaching boating courses will find this resource especially useful. Made in the USA.
