Bass Bums
The stories in this book are grounded in truth, although the stories, the location and the characters are fictitious. They are based on 65 years spent on the water pursuing the addiction of bass fishing. During this time, it has evolved into tournament angling, which is fiercely competitive and largely a male sport. Tournament money tends not to be big, but the bragging rights, ego and connivary is huge. Many fishermen will pull out all the stops to try to win a tournament, however big or small. And many a husband or dedicated worker has fallen from grace because of his addiction on the water. The setting is Wharton Lake, a popular bass lake in the deep south straddling Alabama and Georgia. The characters should be familiar to any competitive fisherman, being rascals and heroes, and often a blend of the two. Macbeth would argue that bass fishing signifies nothing, while I maintain that it reflects the many human aspects of keen competition, victory and defeat, with karma mixed in.

Things I Wish I’d Known Before I Started Sailing, Expanded and Updated
John Vigor knows a thing or two about sailing. He's been at it for decades in sailboats of all kinds--racing (he's a national champion), cruising (he has tens of thousands of miles of blue-water crossings), and generally messing about (there is no place he'd rather be).John Vigor knows a thing or two about writing as well. A journalist by trade, he was a reporter, columnist, and editor, and he's written more than a few best-selling books about sailing.Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Started Sailing is a gift, a blessing for sailors of all stripes, a condensation of all he has learned over the years. Aimed at sailboat owners of all kinds, this reference book contains 200 entries packed with solid practical advice and valuable tips. Each entry is categorized alphabetically and prefaced by an arresting statement, such as "People always lie about how fast their boats are." The reference format offers readers the opportunity to open the book at any page and browse endlessly. A comprehensive appendix covers some 50 technical topics.Here's a small taste, but look inside for the full banquet: Don't waste your money on high-powered binoculars.Inflatable dinghies aren't all that good.Don't delude yourself--there is no perfect boat.
