Still Summer
by Jacquelyn Mitchard
Remember back in elementary school when the teacher told you to "never judge a book by its cover?" Well I did not and I am writing now to warn you I paid the consequences by reading a book that is so fraught with errors and improbabilities that the suspension of disbelief was just not possible.

The Best Used Boat Notebook
by John Kretschmer
With 70% of boat sales, sales of used boats, it's no wonder that used sailboat reviews are popular boating magazine features. As new boat prices move into the six figure range, most of us look at used boats for our first or next purchase.
The Best Used Boat Notebook is a compilation of 50 used sailboat reviews written by John Kretschmer and originally published in Sailing magazine. Kretschmer is a noted and frequently published bluewater sailor with over 250,000 miles in his wake.

The Hungry Ocean by Linda Greenlaw
Captaining an American swordfish boat is an accomplishment worthy of respect, Linda Greenlaw became one of the most successful captains in the American fleet and as the The Hungry Ocean attests, she is an accomplished writer with a fine eye for detail.
International law forces American swordfish boats to fish a thousand miles from their home ports. Sword boats must be tough, self-reliant and resourceful. Each night, thirty miles of carefully positioned line carrying thousands of baited hooks set to right depth are set adrift in the warm waters of the stream - hauled back aboard the next morning, foot by foot, hopefully including a good number of fish.
