We are just beginning our sailing career and are using your books to get that 10-20 year jump (as you say). The message that stands out more than anything else is the seriousness of sailing and being prepared. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Navigation seems to us to be the most important subject (at this point). We haven&#8217;t gotten to the weather book yet, however, I know it&#8217;s just as important but one thing at a time. We live in Phoenix and keep our boat in Seattle. Can you recommend a school that offers a good navigation course in Phoenix? We wish to keep our boat on top of the water unlike Jubilation and others ( very sad). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your help and sharing of invaluable information. Cheers, Larry <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p class=\"Body\">Hi Larry: Phoenix &#8211; we&#8217;re almost neighbors. We&#8217;re headed to Puget Sound and AK in a few weeks so maybe we&#8217;ll see you up there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>As to nav courses in AZ, I would check the Power Squadron http:\/\/www.usps.org\/e_stuff\/Basic.html and perhaps American Sailing Association http:\/\/www.asa.com\/ <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Further away, Orange Coast College in Southern California has a variety of courses on offer. I&#8217;m sure there will be a bunch in the Seattle area as well.
