Ok, seriously, this was 100% not what I expected. I read the first few pages in a bookstore, then bought it on Kindle (deplorable, McKenzie'southward Books). I thought I was getting a book on oceans, and lakes, and geology, and natural history. I was in no manner expecting all the stuff about yachting.

Like so much of the nautical globe, there is a simple lawmaking to exist cleaved earlier we can savor reading Plimsoll Lines. There are usually two main parts to these lines. There is the vertical ruler, which is the key part, and aslope these vertical markings yous volition usually see some letters, like, TF, F, S, W, WNA. These letters are abbreviations for water types, Tropical Fresh, Fresh, Summer, Winter, Winter North Atlantic.

Or naval signaling.

A dark cone pointing downwards means a sailing vessel that is using its engine (simply of import because the rights of way for a sailing vessel modify when its engine is used). Three dark balls, 1 on top of the other, mean that the vessel has run aground. And my personal favourite, just for its surreal blend of traditional elegance and contemporary horror: three dark assurance, one at the masthead, and 1 at each end of the foreyard means … a vessel engaged in mine clearance.

Or navigation by sextant.

I would like you to notice a lamppost and to stand underneath it. What angle is this light above the street? Answer: 90 degrees. Which ways that if y'all called me and told me that yous had taken a 'sight' of this light and it was 90 degrees, I could tell y'all with certainty that you were standing exactly underneath that light. Next, if you took five steps away from the light and gauged its angle above the street, you might come upward with something like lxx degrees. The calorie-free appears lower, the further you are from information technology. And that in a nutshell is almost all you need to know about how celestial navigation works. Let me demonstrate with a strange thought experiment. Imagine I called y'all on your mobile and asked you to stand somewhere on the street and tell me the bending that a streetlight we both know is to a higher place the ground. Whatever your answer, I would then be able to guess roughly how far you were from that lite. If you said the light was 50 degrees higher up the pavement I would say that I think you are 12 paces from the light (information technology's not magic, simply trigonometry).

And, yes, all these things are in some way related to water, merely equally a whole, it took me in an unexpected direction.

I loved the affiliate on trout fishing, and on river currents and patterns, especially as I only moved to live adjacent to a river, and I've spent my life by the ocean. But my enjoyment of the book evaporated before halfway when Gooley started discussing the wind. This in itself was a fine diversion, just I expected we would get back to h2o. Instead we spent most of the rest of the book reminiscing about his yachting experiences.

I totally sound like one of those whiny readers, only if I'd understood I was ownership a book on yachting, and wanted a volume on yachting, with some aspects of water thrown in for good measure, I would have enjoyed the book a lot more.

From a stylistic as well as a grammatical standpoint, this book needs a lot of help... which sucks! The book otherwise had so much water potential! (haaaaaaaaaaaaa, oh my god, I detest myself). Perhaps a revised version will pop upwardly hither in a year or two and I'll requite it another shot then.

I didn't give it 5 stars considering I felt similar the volume was a little besides long. Yes, there'south a lot of basis to cover, only there's also scattered personal stories and comments which sometimes I liked and sometimes I felt was unnecessarily adding to the length of the book. The affiliate on the fly fishing as well wasn't that interesting for me personally. It had some interesting observations, but that'due south one area that I'g certain I will never take the opportunity nor the interest to pursue. I was about to feel that way about the sailing signals, but and then it turns out I enjoyed that chapter more than I thought I would. In that location's a whole earth of almost "cloak-and-dagger code" to learn when it comes to sailing!

I acknowledge, sometimes it took me a while for my brain to grasp some of the scientific concepts. I had to read and re-read. The diagrams definitely helped! I also loved the folklore about cultures and people who relied on these water clues to navigate. At that place'due south a lot that is no longer 'necessary' due to today'south engineering, but it's amazing that they could navigate and so well without these advanced gadgets in the past.

Thoroughly entertaining. The style is informal, the anecdotes are well-chosen, the residual between theory and personal experience is nicely judged. Not, peradventure, a scientific volume, but then in that location are already plenty dry books virtually water.

All the navigational tips nigh finding the North Star are absolutely useless for those of u.s. living in the upside downwardly. There'due south no mention of our mighty Southern Cross. I accept that the book probably would have become more clunky constantly doing north and southward comparisons. Information technology's just that there was a lot of puffery about Polynesian navigators and their unbelievable techniques, however little to no practical exploration of the techniques. If you're going to proceed telling u.s.a. how Polynesians are the greatest navigators of all time then prove it. I also recall we could have done with some more talk about modern navigational techniques and the longitude problem.

The big issue with the volume is that despite Gooley's enthusiasm for the environment and passion for learning, in that location's a lack of bookish rigour. Gooley wants to know and understand the sometime ways but he wants to know them in the sort of oral tradition they were originally taught. This doesn't lend itself to a book. I'yard sure if you sat down with Gooley side by side to a crackling fire on a remote beach somewhere he could plough you into a navigational whiz in a few days. Unfortunately, I just don't think the uncle Gooley arroyo works and so well in volume format.

In that location were also a lot of digressions from water and how to read it, many times I felt I'd been swindled. The book completely loses its way towards the end which is ironic because this is when we start dealing more with Gooley's ain wayfinding journeys in the artic circle and around the Britain. These are interesting but don't really add a huge amount to the topic at hand.

A strong editor probably could have fatigued a coherent book out of these troubled waters. As it stands the reader needs to be a navigational savant to steer safely through this volume.

My only criticism, actually, is that it could have been more tightly edited. I agree with a handful of other reviews I've seen that this volume likely didn't need to be as long every bit it was, and while certain chapters were mesmerizing, there were certainly a few that hung on too long.

[Four stars for puddles, tides, ripples, glitter paths, and drops of humor in almost every chapter.]

It is informative, and humorous at times, and made me wish I live nigh the body of water or open water to observe the phenomena described and really well explained.

Information technology took over a twelvemonth reading this on my phone, but I finished it.

This is an interesting book that explores how h2o works in nature. What causes waves? Why does water move the mode information technology does? How can you lot navigate on water? How to you read what h2o is telling you? A very interesting topic, even for someone in a landlocked country such as myself.

I recommend.
