Buy Mary Blewitts book instead. Milligan's book, not so good,
By John Sull (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Celestial Navigation by H.O. 249 (Paperback)
Milligan lays out the process for you, but does very little in explaining what is going on within the process.He pools a LOP right in with the noon shot. I didn't like that, The book draws no line between the noon shot, and determination of LP's and the the use of sight red. tables. He doesn't make it clear that you don't need S.R. tables when you do a noon shot. I found myself asking when will I use these S.R. tables during the noon shot. He leaves out details when it comes to teaching the inexperinced.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent overview of the oldest means of navigation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Celestial Navigation by H.O. 249 (Paperback)
Sailors, from the most serious of circumnavigators and racers, to the armchair-navigator will enjoy this classic on celestial navigation. "Steering by the stars" - an art perfected by ancient Polynesians who were navigating the Pacific to Hawai`i - as if it were a pond - over 1000 years before western Europeans left sight of their coasts....
also look for a new title by John "Stu" Milligan, The Rainbow Quest - his first-person account of the 1969 TransPacific Yacht Race, from Long Beach Calif to Honolulu Hawai`i - you can read excerpts from this well-written adventure on the high seas on the web at: http://holoholo.org/wycnews/transpac/ and aslo check out the action in this years Transpac'97 race.... Direct From Diamond Head Via WebXpress... be there... aloha... danno
