Product Review
"Boating-Exposed is an absolute must have book for the novice boater to the 'old salts.' It certainly gives credence to the phrases, 'heave-ho' and 'anchors away.' Packed full of humor and straight shooting, a very enjoyable read." --
Lorenzo D. Leonard/Author-Relationships, ShatteringeThe Lies We Live By and Abstract Freedom"In looking back at my 25 years of boating experience, I find many funny and interesting adventures related in Boating-Exposed! that I have personally experienced. Boating-Exposed! is a magnificently entertaining 'must read' for anyone interested in boating or just a great humorous thing-slapping book of fun." --
Reynolds R. Haas, Seattle Boating Enthusiast
Product Description
Boating-Exposed! takes a lighthearted and in-depth look at the popular pastime of boating.Both the first-time novice and the experienced "salty dog" will enjoy this pleasurable and witty book. Boating enthusiast and Seattle native Bill Kaster offers an amusing, sometimes wacky, but always entertaining perspective that reveals the peculiarities of owning a boat (or should we say of a boat owning you?).
Set in the mariner's paradise of Puget Sound, Boating-Exposed! covers it all from the art of the first-time purchase in "At the Boat Show' to the traditional captain's legacy of going down with the ship in "The Law of the Sea." You'll find everything you need to know and more in this comprehensive guide, includeing "Naming the Boat," At the Marine Hardware Store," "The Anchor-Friend or Foe?."
The perfect gift for the power boating or sailing enthusiast, this book is equally amusing and insightful for spouse and friend of the avid boater. Accompanied by the comic illustrations of Bob Cleland, Boating-Exposed! has a dose of Dave Barry in its irreverent but knowledgeable approach to boating, reminding the reader that humor is the only way to stay on an even keel!
