Review
Capably written by experienced seaman and navigator Dag Pike, Reed's Sextant Simplified is an accessibly practical and authoritative guide to using a navigational device that has served seamen and airmen across generations and down through the centuries. Practical tips, a straightforward tutorial to reading and taking sights, making adjustments and correcting for errors, advice on handling and caring for the instrument, and more fill the pages of this solid resource which is especially recommended for beginners and has much to offer even the more experienced seafarer!
