When the seas are too rough to go offshore or your boat doesn’t run because it has decided to be a boat, it’s a great day for a good book. The following are some of Capt. Ron’s favorites.

If you are having trouble finding older books which are no longer in print we can help you find them, and probably save you money in the process.

To ensure that you buy at the most competitive price, the edition and type (hard cover or paperback) book which you desire use the “Search” option by either book title or author to locate the availability of the book and the multiple sources from which it can be purchased.
