At the conference we sold a number of
different boating titles from McGraw-Hill and in spite of robust sales,
we still have a number of each book left. The books need to be returned
to the publisher to recoup the cost of the books to the squadron. As
you likely know the cost of shipping books is not cheap! If you want books shipped, send your check made out to BBSPS, along with your mailing address and phone number, to Bob Sweet, 54 Cash's Trail, Waquoit, MA 02536. You might want to give him a call to let him know the check is in the mail because the books are already starting to sell out. Even with the shipping charge it's a great deal, and it helps the squadron by liquidating this inventory without additional cost.

In addition, we also have a few copies of Piloting and Advanced Piloting available for sale.
(Click on the cover for more information) The Piloting book is the first of the navigational classes focusing on techniques for piloting a boat in coastal and inland conditions. The price is $24.50.
(Click on the cover for more information) The Advanced Piloting book is the final part of the inland and coastal navigation series and builds on Piloting with practical use of additional electronic navigation systems and other advanced techniques of finding position. The price is $26.50. These books
are particularly useful to members for review when one has taken
the Piloting course years ago and can also be used for self-study
by members with help from the education group if and when needed.
If you took Piloting and/or Advance Piloting a few years ago, these
are the completely rewritten editions with electronic navigation
integrated into the material. To buy either Piloting or Advanced Piloting, Call Peter Moon at 508-563-9569 or email capecodmoon@verizon.net for any further information.
