Ebook: Sea Sense

Mix seamanship with common sense, and you get sense, a quality hard to define but easy to recognize. A well-executed docking, a trim vessel stocked with tools and replacement parts, a conscientiously maintained engine, a properly designed and metered electrical system, a safe deck layout with good footing and strategic hand-holds, and the habit of thinking two steps ahead at all times are just a few of many faces of sea sense.
Sea sense is honed and hardened by experience, but its essentials can be taught, as this book aims to do. Whether you are a sailor or powerboater, whether you are venturing out of sheltered water for the first time or graduating from short offshore passages to extended blue-water voyaging, Sea Sense offer valuable advice about all aspects of preparation and challenges underway.
