Pleasure Boating is often an experience in frustration! Boats coming at you from all directions! It's not just annoying, IT'S DOWN RIGHT DANGEROUS! It seems that everyone is violating the rules, in fact most people don't even know what the rules are. This is because the books that are currently available only present the Rules of Navigation in the legalize that they were written in. Unfortunately, most people either misinterpret their meaning or become frustrated trying to figure out what the rules mean. Either way it makes for a dangerous environment.
Surviving the Deep Blue Seais the only book available that describes these rules VISUALLY! Over 80 instantly recognized Vibrant Color Illustrations, with Concise Descriptions. SEVERAL VOLUMES of Boating Reference Materials condensed down into 16 laminated, SLASH PROOF, pages. Spiral bound in flip chart form for ease of use. This is the only book specifically designed to be used while out on the water!
