Boating
in Oregon Coastal Waters
Oceanography
of the BC Coast by Richard Thompson A must
read!! if you want to understand how the ocean environment interacts
with the coastal land mass.
The
Essentials of Sea Survival by Frank Golden and Michael Tipton.
Another
must read!! If you only
read one nautical book in your life, this should be the one. This book will hlp
you to prepare to survive an accident at sea. It explains, in very clear
language, why hypothermia is not the cold water sailor's
greatest challenge. In fact this book explains how your biggest challenge is to
survive long enough to risk dying of hypothermia.
Survival
in Cold Waters (TP13822) Based
on the work of Dr. Michael Tipton, world authority on hypothermia. (Everyone who operates a boat in cold waters should read this publication.)

Water Boot Camp "Most of the water in Canada is cold year round.
It’s cold water that is a major contributor to recreational drowning deaths
year after year. Nine Boot Camp volunteers offered to ‘jump in with both
feet’ and experience first hand what happens in 6 degree Celsius water."
