Beating the Odds on Northern Waters

For more than a decade, hundreds of safety trainers, including the U.S. Coast Guard, have relied on this book* as their primary reference and teaching tool. Originally written for use in the North Pacific commercial fishery, the sixth edition applies equally well in the northern waters of the Atlantic Ocean, including the New England region. Among other USCG-approved safety information, the book includes directions on conducting safety drills mandated by the Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel Safety Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-424). For the green crew member or experienced fisherman, Beating the Odds is an excellent and readable resource on safety and survival, and is a must-read for those working on cold waters.
