Book was received as promised. Excellent layout. It will really simplify record keeping. Data is well organized, making future reference easy.
Very valuable and takes a lot of the guesswork out of cruising! Thank you for putting it together!
The tables are very nice to have but It needs a few pictures with charts snapshots. If it had those it would be incredible. Its still a very good reference!
The Quick Reference Guide is so intuitive and easy to use! I begin with it, then review the Watrway Guide for more in-depth information. A great combination!
I have been using my new TeamO PFD with BackTow� - Coastal Blue UML 170n for about 2 months as we cruise the Sea of Cortez. It is by far the most comfortable inflatable life-vest that I have ever worn. We wear our life jackets any time we are on the water, so I have put some miles on it. The jacket sits low on my neck -basically on the top of my shoulder blades so that even in a t-shirt or tank top, I am comfortable and there is no neck chafing. It works great across my chest and is not uncomfortably binding. My one complaint is the auto fill cord. It is designed to stay tucked into two little pockets, but it does not stay tucked in and it snags on lifelines, winches, etc. I just looked on the TeamO website, and it appears that they have changed the design so this may no longer be an issue.
These are nice handy guides in an easy to use formate. Specifics with lots of notes. We are getting ready for a trip and the detailed suggestions should be very helpful.
Hope to use this for future travel on a future trawler. It was nice not searching for the item on my own & the quality looks great.
This is perfect! It had quick answers to almost every question I’ve had in the kitchen. I hate having to track down information on the internet and sort through all the results that come up. This is even more important when on a boat when the internet may not be readily available! Highly, highly recommend this to anyone who cooks, bakes or sets foot in a kitchen!
It is nice to have a quick reference guide for marina services and anchoring locations while cruising. It helps with route planning. The 12v wiring guide is very handy. No need to search through a book for wire sizes per run length.
This book is short and sweet - it tells you how weather impacts your cruising, how to understand the weather at the basic level and shows you the tools to use and how to use them.
I like studying the weather and have read many books on weather and sailing. I wish I read this book first for it tells you what you really need to know and why. And then it tells you how to get the information you need and actually use it. It doesn’t teach you how to be a weather-person, it teaches you how to use available weather resources to have more comfortable sailing adventures.
I recommend this book to anyone who sails.
This Galley guide covers it all. Measurements, tips, and more. I'll be using it in my kitchen when we aren't sailing!
This book was easily understandable, well written and provided solid, actionable information. Very well worth the $20 or so spent, but along with all the helpful bits of advice I was surprised to see no mention whatsoever of a barometer. Nothing. I understand that this book (as it clearly states a few times) wasn’t written to make amateur meteorologists out of anyone but a barometer is one of the cornerstones of understanding what the weather is doing in your immediate vicinity. Even a brief mention of how to interpret a reading/readings would make an already very helpful book even more so.
Like all things Boat Galley, well thought out and well organized down to the last detail.
We just received our copy of “Weather Basics for Boaters”. Lokking to be a helpful resource!
Thank you for this great reference book. Looking at anchorages by wind direction is so useful. Thanks
I am no Chef, so having this booklet handy in the galley is super useful!
I have not actually used these yet "in the field", but wanted to take a moment to let people know that so far they are as advertised. They worked perfectly right out of the box, are pre-paired as described and my wife is excited that we can have both hands free while working together at different points on the vessel. The clarity is very good so far. Hope this helps. - Dwayne S.
We have been cruising Maine for 15 years and have learned several new things in the first few chapters. Full of useful info that makes our cruises safer and more comfortable.
Recommended without qualification.
I wish I knew about this before I spent hours going through my crusiing Guide and marking which direction each anchorage had protection from. This should be a very helpful resource.
Practical/actionable recommendations for safe harbors.
Just received the paper version. Looks like it will be very useful based upon our 10 years cruising experience already.
A very usable guide, particularly for neophytes who recognize the need to expand their marine knowledge. Also useful for experienced Mariners possessing a less than perfect memory.
A really nice resource to have stationed near your VHF, especially for those not comfortable with VHF use. It could be used for safety briefings for all guests.
