I downloadad the manual - it is a great reference book (1242 pages). I am
loading it on my "boat laptop" (where I also keep the latest charts and
other goodies).

Thank you , Larrt, for this tip

The US Coast Guard - Boat Crew Seamanship Manual was posted Friday to

On the subject list, it starts with:
