he single word that summarizes this beautiful book is “exquisite.” The real treasures in this book are the accounts of Rose’s encounters with ordinary Egyptian people, from the giggling group of Nubian village girls, to the creepy Jimi Hendrix look-alike felucca captain.

If you’ve ever extended yourself, spent time outdoors or been exposed to the many elements of nature, you know this story could easily be about you.

It grips you right at the start as you sense the tearing of the hulls and rushing and pounding of the ocean destroying everything and probably everyone they care about in a matter of minutes.

This story takes the reader on a thrilling trip away from the 21st century, and eventually to the very outer limits of courage and nerve.

I don’t know how you can make a more comprehensive book about boating. The book is continually revised and is incredbily current. There’s a chapter on advanced marine electronics, including all the new plotters and GPS systems, and the upcoming radio features. The book doesn’t neglect the basics; there’s a 40-page chapter on compasses, and plenty of information on observing weather, charting, and navigation.

There are colour illustrations throughout, a great index, and a good glossary. Unfortuantely, there are also typographical errors and formatting problems here and there, too. Sometimes, they’re enough to make the material confusing or inaccurate.

If you own a boat, even if you’re experienced, I’m sure you can use a copy of this book for reference. If you’re new to boating, like I am, you’ll have great use for the book and its contents. If you don’t own a boat yet, you should buy one before you go to the boat show or the dealership; you’ll learn more than your salesman probably knows!
