TEXT ON BACK COVER


Welcome Aboard!

Here's everything that a guest on board a boat really needs to know to be a useful (and welcome) addition to the crew.  In an entertaining manner, Guest Afloat explains boating etiquette and sea knowledge useful to guests aboard any type or size boat.

With more than 150 drawings, diagrams and charts, the book shows ways a newcomer easily can learn about having fun afloat: how to steer a course, use a marine head, and cook in the galley (including using simple boating recipes).   There's information on what to do if there are boating emergencies, tips on anchoring, pointers on navigation as well as coastal piloting.  Whether the reader is a first-time beginner or an old salt, Guest Afloat will make the boating experience more enjoyable and rewarding.

Skippers will want to keep this great marine resource on board to let guests get involved in the boat's operations and more fully enjoy their boating experience.

Includes a section for guests to write down their own Guest Memories.
