How to Find Where You Are From the Sun - Book
$10.00
Written by boat designer George Buehler, this little book is subtitled "what you need to do when the GPS fails." It teaches one job: taking sights of the sun with a sextant and working them out into a position. Buehler calls it the simplest and clearest how-to on using a sextant and navigating, and leaves the theory to other books.
It suits sailors who want a dependable backup to electronics and would rather follow steps than study the math behind them. Keep it aboard with your sextant and almanac, and practice before you need it.
