Food for dreams

May 14, 2023 by Lukasz Kumanowski

While looking for typewriters on flea market I stumbled upon Nautical Almanac from 1953. It is, of course, outdated concerning celestial navigation tables but still useful for learning this skill. You can’t buy new ones anymore - they are only available in digital format.

The week after I found this treasure I got unexpected packet. It turned out to be from Leif! He made me a few surprises before with sending me magnificent nautical books. This time I got his sea charts and lots of tips for sailing destinations.

There you go!
After finishing work on my boat for today I sat down on the floor and started studying these charts. The old almanac by my side - I could pretend I’m in XX century, preparing the journey and planning equipment purchase needed. I like these old commercials and marine chandlers catalogs.
