Title: BOOKS Sailing, of course
Post by: Krusen on Oct 23, 2023, 03:53 PM
KRUSE'N  is anchored.



Sailing Books:




Precision Cruising
   Chase, Arthur F.
   A lesser work, cruising oriented, his real bottom line is, get up early, and under sail, to get the best anchoring spots tonight.





Sensible Cruising, Thoreau Approach
   Casey and Holder
    A fair read, but not much really useful guidance for sailing simply.




My Old Man and the Sea
   Hays, David and Daniel
    A well to do Dad with a very dysfunctional relationship with his son.  They agree to modify a sailboat, provision it, and sail around Cape Horn.  They wrote the book from their logs, and obviously, they made it.  Pretty good read, but continuously aware that they had no money problems.


Depending on the weight of the book, and distance to your house, postage will likely be between $5 and $10 per book.

Actual cost to South Carolina, 4 books, $10.00

This is not exactly an auction.  Send me an even dollar offer per book and the name(s) of the books you want.
Offers on more than one book increases the likely hood of acceptance.

You will be notified by email the books are on the way, and when they arrive, send me a check for offer plus actual postage or other shipping cost.

My email is wtd555@aol.com


Books will be edited off the list as sold.

Time is important, as I am moving soon, unsold will go to Bacon Sails consignment store.
