One of the Best Investments You'll Ever Make --- & It's FREE

The USCG Boat Crew Seamanship Manual is available for download at:

At 19.7 MB, it's a whopper, but it's one of the absolute finest and most comprehensive general seamanship
references on the planet. PDF documents such as this are easily CTRL+F searchable on most computers, so
you can quickly get concise, understandable answers to almost any question you might have.

The folks who wrote this are the people who TRAIN some of the smartest and bravest people on the planet,
and I would submit that by actually READING it, YOU might save one or more of THEIR lives --- by not making
them HAVE to endanger themselves in the first place.

Too many of us nowadays are quick to SAY "thank you" to the men and women who literally put their lives
on the line to protect us. Here's a chance to REALLY thank them, not by putting your money, but by putting
your KNOWLEDGE and SKILLSETS where your mouth is. And with no more discomfort than curling up to a
good rainy-night read.
