The American Practical Navigator, or Bowditch, is back in a new edition from Celestaire and Paradise Cay Publications.

The Bicentennial Edition features the newest advances in electronic navigation and digital charting, while still covering traditional methods like celestial navigation, plotting, and dead reckoning. Packed with trusted tables long relied on by mariners, Bowditch remains a fixture on every U.S. Navy ship and an essential addition to any serious navigators library.
