[Mary Lou Troy]

Now Ed, if you search the archives and pay 
attention you will know that I'm the chatty one 
in this household.  Fred's around.

We're not practicing avoidance - we're just lazy. 
It takes a lot of time and effort to create a 
list like the NG one that Brad mentioned.

I'll tell you a few of my favorite recent 
nautical reads (Merrick "Cruising at Last" and 
Richards "Princess") but I'm not about to spend 
time creating a book list that I could be 
spending sailing, gardening, traveling, reading 
or working (no longer in the library biz - just 
doing marketing for a local music venue).

There are nautical books lists out there. Some 
good places to start are 
http://www.boat-links.com/naut-lit.html for 
nautical fiction and 
http://euler.sfasu.edu/booklists/nautnonf.html or 
http://www.natrix.demon.nl/zeilboek.html for 
nonfiction. Unfortunately none of these lists 
have been updated recently probably because it is 
time and labor intensive.  If anyone knows of updated lists, please post.

BTW, if anyone is visiting the Chesapeake in the 
St. Michaels area there is a great nautical book 
store on Tilghman Island called the Book Bank. 
They are also online at 
http://www.crawfordsnautical.com/   Rory, how do 
you ever get anything done with that right down the road.
