Publisher's Synopsis
Every good instructor knows that experience is a great, though very demanding teacher. Luckily, with language and printing, we can learn indirectly from the experience of others, and avoid the more dangerous lessons. For over 40 years, in Burgee Magazine's 'I Learned About Boating From This...' feature, readers have shared personal encounters with boats and the sea, some dangerous, some just awkward or embarrassing, and some downright amusing. This collection taken from those Burgee columns is fun reading, filled with information that can save boats, equipment, time, money, and even lives. Coming directly from those who were there, it beats the heck out of learning all of these things the hard way! -Mereld Keys Author, Critic, Reviewer and Marine Educator
