Used this very often when living in a house overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca (between Seattle and the ocean). Fun and helpful!

[Anna L Conti]

Excellent basic guide to types of boats & ships that one might see along the North American coastal waterways. Good "spotting" tips, anticipates problems when viewing from the waterline. Lots of technical details - more than I could absorb on the first time through. Nice small size, flexible binding (perfect for throwing in the backpack when heading out for a walk around the bay.)

But this book is out of print!! I feel so lucky to have found my copy. It should really be reissued, since there is no one else out there, that I can find, in print or online, that is providing this info to the public.
