"In my years on the water I have seen boaters make numerous mistakes from docking unsafely, being unaware of the Rules of the Road and not knowing where they were."

You can benefit from Bruce's 40 plus years of experience teaching sailing and powerboat programs on vessels ranging from 13' - 86'.

Although I have been boating all my life, the book still provides a useful reminder of the essentials of boating. This book includes knowledge that any boater must have for safe boating. The book is readable and informative. Well done!
