Third is the Emergency Navigation Card by Paradise Cay Publications

for the truly interested

Navigation Through The Ages by Launer and Larsen gives a nice overview of logs with poles to satellite navigation.

and the truly interesting Viking Navigation by Thirsland

Barnesandnoble.com search for Emergency Navigation will get you more details in the first 11 pages along with some other interesting goodies.

Where to buy

Paradise Cay of course barnesandnoble.com Sea Breeze in San Diego (say hi to the ladies and I still want a paperback of the Admiral's Daughter LOL) Dolphin Books (an amazingly well stocked nautical only shop. The owner is a retired British merchant marine captain. Located on Stoneway in Fremont area of Seattle WA.

note: Emergency Navigation which could also be titled "Traditional Navigation" is on it's Second Edition. But still worthwhile is the original Edition and Bunsandnibbes (BarnesandNoble) gives you choices long about page 11 for some from $3 t $9 range.
