Boating Survival Guide

With the right knowledge, skills and techniques, boating is an easy, safe and pleasurable pastime. However, it can be very unforgiving; you cannot walk away from a broken-down boat, nor is help always available if something goes wrong. The key to successful boating is to learn how to do things the right way the first time, understanding what the risks are and how to effectively manage problems if they arise.

Boating Survival Guide, by respected boating expert Doug King, is all about how to have enjoyable and safe boating experiences. The topics and areas that are commonly covered in other boating books are discussed, but with a difference. Here you’ll find hints, checklists, case studies and examples, presented in a practical, easy-to-read format.

Explanations for those who are new to boating are included, along with more detailed information that will interest the experienced boater and those wanting to enhance their knowledge and skills.

Boating Survival Guide includes information on:
>> Buying a boat, setting it up and preparing to take it out on the water.
>> Boat handling and navigation, in different waters and weathers.
>> Important information on safety and emergency procedures.
>> Manners and etiquette on the water.

"There is a lot to know on the water, and while this book includes the base knowledge, it takes you past that in a structured way, allowing you to spread your wings further while feeling comfortable and safe," said the author.

The book is available now in paperback form for $29.95.
