Default best beginners book overall

Chapman's Pikoting is one good source for all round seamanship; there's
also a Dummy book pn sailing for the semi-literate. If you want to get
really into ot, get a Bowditch or a Bluejacket Mariners and get totally
swamped in terms and lingo.

Looking for a little advise on what I could read to get a good overall
knowledge of sailing. I plan on taking a power squadron class but would
like to know more than nothing before I get there. In fact I know I
don't know anything so that is something...right?

Any advise would be great.
thanks,
Scott

Get an education and you won't be totally swamped by terms and lingo...

You misspelled "Piloting" to Pikoting. (picketting)

Sorry, but I refuse to spell it out beyond that.

I dug out the old carpal tunnek keyboard...there's probably dust down
between the keys...I know you wanted a more salacious answer, but
unfortunately, it's just another mundane thing.....
