take a pounding."

Wilbur, I bought "Chapman Knotical Chart No. 1" and "Pitoting and
Dead Reckoning" so far to prepare for when I get my Carolina Skiff
2480DX of Mac 26M - haven't decided on which yet.
I have Beauditch on digital media only.
Thinking about ordering "Sailing For Dumbies."
Do you recommend I add "The Old Farter's Almanac" to my list of "must
gets?" Any others? BTW, I don't garden, but am entertaining the idea
of brewing beer on my boat.
