A Sea Bird Book to Take Sailing Offshore

Planning a voyage offshore this year? Here's a fine new book from Princeton University Press to take along: Petrels, Albatrosses & Storm-Petrels of North America. Offshore sailors know that often there isn't a whole lot besides water to look at out there, and most of us become fascinated by the birds we see. This book not only will help you identify what you're seeing but also improve your understanding of the ocean itself in its richly varying nature.
