Tony Herrick of CRUISING CONNECTIONS has produced a number of marine ebooks of cruising guides, sailing and general boating (including some FREE ones). Ebooks are a very useful format for cruising sailors as they can download these cruising guides and sailing notes from any online PC anywhere in the world and be reading the ebooks in a matter of minutes. Tony Herrick has maintained these marine ebook file sizes to under 1 Mb so that they will easily fit onto an empty 3½ inch "floppy" - easy to download and store on board your yacht. Alternatively, save these ebooks directly to your PC hard-drive. No special software is required to read these ebooks as they automatically open in your MSIE® browser (NOTE - NOT compatible with MS® VISTA). (PDF versions are also being added to the list). The ebook files are virus free and downloads are direct from a secure server in Denver. Depending on your connection speed, the various ebook downloads will take between 3 and 8 minutes. (PDF file sizes are much smaller)
