Synopsis

Do You Love Boating or Trivia?

Nautical Trivia is packed from stem to stern with more than 1,000 Questions and Answers about the deep blue sea, making it the perfect read for veteran seafarers and armchair navigators alike. Organized into 170-pages of seafaring terminology and trivia, this book divides into seven nautically-flavored categories:

• Sailing
• Navigation
• The Rules of the Road
• Rivers and Waterways
• Nautical Terminology
• Powerboating
• Potpourri (catch-all)
  

Even if you work in the marine industry, you probably hear all kinds of sayings that you have no idea from where they originate. Perusing this book, you will learn about epic explorers, history makers, record breakers, myths, legends, maritime traditions, and life at sea. This salty book teases and pleases with interesting, intriguing, and wide-ranging questions from naval history, literature, television shows, and feature films. Some of the questions are textbook serious, while others are whimsical to keep things light.

This book is the perfect companion for a nautical family, an appropriate stowaway for cozy evenings spent on board or ashore. Test yourself and your crew in the cockpit or at the yacht club. As an added benefit to the camaraderie enjoyed, you're likely to learn a little bit about boating.

By the time you guys reach the bitter end of the 1,000 plus questions, your crew will have navigated centuries of maritime history, crossed thousands of miles of open ocean, and discovered new lands. Suffice it to say, this book is full of helpful information and is easy to read, even for landlubbers. Finally, one does not have to play the game to enjoy this book. Instead, pick up a copy and read it like a nautical novel.
