Many powerboaters seem to think that GPS, high-tec drive systems, and readily available towing services have made the art of seamanship obsolete. How wrong they are! "Navigable waters are still the same contrary beasts they always were," says Stu Reininger. " Things continue to go wrong, and help isn't always available." Good boat handling prevents most problems and overcomes any you do encounter. Boating skill and expert seamanship provide great comfort and satisfaction to their possessors.
