I plan to learn to read charts, but you're scaring me here.

If you want to edumacate youself on it, here is a great book:

Piloting & Dead Reckoning - Shufeldt/Dunlap/Bauer, Fourth Edition.

Tell you everything you wanted to know and then some.

You might also want to pick up a copy of Chart No. 1.

Thanks. Order is in to Phineas Fogg, bookseller in OR.
4th Ed., very good condition. I'll order Chart 1 shortly.
You may have mentioned this to me before, so I didn't
want to let it go again.

Thanks. Ordered "Chapman Nautical Chart No. 1: The Essential Guide to
Chart Reading and Navigation." Got this one new.
Soon I'll be a sailor, er, boater again. Or maybe just a reader.
