You will be glad you did.How to avoid Huge Ships, or, I never met a Ship I likedĭescription: If over the years I had been given a dollar each time a small boat has sailed into near danger and looming disaster by steering close under the flaring bow of a ship where I was serving as pilot, I would be a wealthy man today. Then move on to the "also viewed" sections in particular follow up on the "Tuscan Whole Milk" and the "Mountain Three Wolf Short Sleeve Tee". This is one of those fringe items that beacons in the legions of clowns and goofballs, and their offerings are worth perusing for anyone with a taste for the humorous and absurd. What you want to do is go to the Amazon listing and read the customer reviews. But never mind the book itself, which, although I'm sure it's quite insightful in its targeted way, is really beside the point.
And, to be honest, I've never had any problem with huge ships, perhaps because I live about 30 miles inland. It's out of print and used copies are hideously expensive. Review 2: Okay, I lied, I didn't read the book. In all, a very good read and I thank the Kitsap Regional Library system for their participation in the inter-library loan program. I also found myself thinking of the pilot controlling one of those huge vessels and the difficulties involved. I will definitely take his advice to heart if I ever find myself conning a small boat in heavily trafficked waters. I hungrily started reading it, setting aside the other books I already had in progress.To my surprise, I found myself enthralled! The unexpected insights of Captain Trimmer, combined with his anecdotes and "common sense" instructions were great fun to read. more hin a week or two I had the book in my hot little hands. I investigated my local library's inter-library loan program. The nearest copy was at a little public library in Idaho. Curiosity got the better of me and I started looking for a copy at local and online used book stores when I thought to check worldcat (thanks for the pointer, google books). I didn't find any, because it's fairly obvious we don't have many (or any) huge ships here in Utah. I started checking local libraries for a copy. But then I started wondering what could actually be in this neat little volume that would have made a second edition necessary. Of course it's obvious how to avoid huge ships. Review 1: Okay, I admit it, when I first heard about this book, I chuckled at the title.
