| One of the boat
guides - it can teach you as much as you need to know. It can be a bit
daunting for the beginning boater. |

| More for sailors than
power boaters, but still one of the serious reference books for any
water dog. |

| A new revision of the
"classic guide to long-distance powerboating". A bit on the technical
side for those of us relying on marinas and services along the canals,
but it covers much of the philosophy of the long-distance cruiser. |

| An enjoyable, well written
book that covers the trip from Florida up the ICW (Intercoastal
Waterway) on the eastern seaboard, across to the Great Lakes, and down
the Mississippi River. It's a great introduction to the pleasure,
anxiety, and recreation you can experience on this bold adventure. |
