Actually, while doing a search on Google for the Annapolis Book of Seamanship, I came across a series of short YouTube videos made by John Rousmaniere. I know they are just "shorts" of his video for sale, but it was informative just the same.

Amazon has a feature where you can view some of the pages within some books. The books mention above all seem to be well thought of.

And in the end, I will call my local club and see what they use and recommend before running off to buy anything.

I also downloaded "The Practical American Navigator" on Paul's recommendation. A lot of it is like looking at the back of my hand since I used to be a flight instructor who also taught ground school where navigation is one of the topics.
