Navigators,
I have just read a book which I thought some of you might enjoy.
It is a novel, but it has some interesting navigational aspects.
Each chapter in introduced with a quote. I especially like the following;
"You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean,
and it'll still kill you, but if you're a good navigator, at least you'll
know where you were when you died."
__Justin Scott, The Shipkiller
The book is "The Nautical Chart," a translation from the spanish. The author
is Arturo Peez-Reverte, and it is published by Harcourt, Inc.
