Book Description

May 2005
Now in its 15th year, The Mariner's Book of Days is an ever-growing encyclopedia of nautical fact, fiction, and folklore, and has been hailed as the best, most entertaining nautical desk diary and calendar to see print. An invaluable reference, each annual edition is completely different from its predecessors, and all have become collector's items.

On every right-hand page is a week of days, with the nautical significance of each explored in brief by the author. On each left-hand page is a collection of nautical miscellany evoking the rich traditions of the sea. Entertaining and informative, illustrated with a variety of lovely etchings, engravings, sketches, and watercolors, The Mariner's Book of Days takes readers on a 365-day voyage through history.

This is a lovely way to keep track of your appoinments while also enjoying fascinating bits of maritime history and other often little known nautical facts. There is enough space to keep a short diary entry for each day.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must for the nautical person with a love of the sea, June 19, 1998
By A Customer
This is the best publication I have encountered regarding the traditions of the sea, folklore and useful hints for the sailor. Such tradition and customs must not be left to fade away. I read the '98 issue in one sitting and immediately purchased the '99 release. I highly recommend this book to those that love the traditions of the sea and confirmation of facts in the marine realm

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent as a journal, February 4, 2009
By 
Tommy Lewis (Raleigh, NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an ecxellent calendar and journal. I have used these for years to track my running and fitness progress. Sounds crazy I know, but it allows me to combine two passions, running and the sea. There is plenty of room to use this as a journal for daily-weekly notes. There are daily tidbits about the sea, sailing and really a lot of useful information.
