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. John LeRoy M/V Traveller
