   Other bookstores carrying the title include, in Seattle: Captain's 
Nautical and Armchair Sailor, also: Seabreeze Books in San Diego.

   A quote from the forward, by Sally Haas, "Spirit of Balto":
"No other marine resource covers such a range of topics. From: naming 
your tender, being boarded by the Coast Guard and dealing with crew 
issues." The list of covered topics is unprecedented.

   Sections include: Clearing, Offshore, Travel Documents, 
State-to-State and a huge Appendix: International Dialing, Definitions, 
Embassies, Internet Resources, Law of the Sea, Innocent Passage, and more.

   Extensive tables of State and Foreign Countries with tax, decal, 
registration, reciprocity and territorial sea limits; emergency numbers 
and procedures, including web site links for further information. All 
this information, in one compact book that you can keep near the helm: 
handy 6" by 9" reference format.

   The amount of information is so extensive that even I can't remember 
it all, that's why I put it in a book. My regret is that I didn't have 
this years ago. It would have saved a lot of money, time and aggravation.

   If you are visiting the US, you need this even more than us residents 
and the material is general enough that much of the content applies to 
cruising yachtsmen, regardless of the flag they sail under.
