The following webpage has a many links of a Nautical nature: http://www.powercruising.com/ (Downside is, you have to listen to streaming audio and this page uses frames, so you can't make bookmarks of the links very easily). Celestial navigation Video: http://www.seatape.com/203out.htm Celestial Navigation for the Complete Idiot: http://www.seatape.com/359out.htm Books: Wright, Frances W. 1969. Celestial Navigation. Cornell Maritime Press, Inc. (Wright includes a list of references, including Bowditch, Nathaniel. 1995 ed. The American Practical Navigator. I found this book for under $24.00 at West Marine. It lists for $99.00). Duttons is a pretty good lead-in too. Forget about Dutton's supplemental "Problems and Answers Booklet." I didn't find it very good; mostly a pain. I have a Davis, Plastic Sextant. Good enough and it is not heavy; just a little bulky. >Does anyone have any recommendations on celestial navigation videos and/or >books? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Sep 11 1998 - 09:35:44 PDT
