Acerca de esta escucha
Celestial Navigation for the Complete Idiot is groundbreaking not because of what it has, but what it doesn't have:
- no mathematics problems
- no astronomical talk
- no big words you've never heard of
Sailor-author Gene Grossman finally breaks this wonderful subject down into plain English and explains it in such a way that you will no longer have any excuse to claim that you know nothing about the valuable boater's subject of celestial navigation. And as for the validity of the book's content, you should know that it was inspired by Gene's DVD program of the same title, which has gained worldwide popularity and is being used by the US Navy, DEA, Coast Guard, and sailing schools, and by sailors all over the world.
Even though we feel that the explanations in this audiobook are easy to understand, the old saying about a "picture being worth a thousand words" applies - especially when trying to describe what things like a nautical chart or a world with lines showing latitude and longitude does to help find a destination. So Magic Lamp Press has created a website with a few simple graphics that we suggest that you print out to make reference to occasionally as you listen to this book. The URL of the page of graphics will be given to you by the book's narrator.
Once you have finished this book, its title will no longer apply to you, because by the information you will have learned, your status description will have been updated to "novice." And with an understanding of what celestial navigation is and how it works, you will be in an excellent position to continue your practice of the subject, and become a sailor capable of sailing around the world without getting lost...so as a start, please remember the three most important rules of boating safety: Keep the water out of the boat; keep the people in the boat; and don't get lost.

Historia
John Kretschmer is sailing’s practical philosopher - as much a doer as a thinker. And that is the overarching theme of this chronicle of a sailing life. Often amusing, sometimes poignant, occasionally terrifying but always inspiring, his deeply personal account is a welcome reminder of the good life waiting at sea. With hundreds of thousands of nautical miles under his keel, John’s adventures have taken him several times around the world.

Veteran sailor and writer Christian Williams invites us along once again on a 5,000-mile voyage of discovery around the North Pacific. Equipped with a new boat, a well-stocked toolbox, and the entire history of philosophic thought, he takes us as crew through squalls and calms deep into a laboratory of the universe that exists only out of sight of land. Funny, erudite, and at times deeply personal, Philosophy of Sailing explores who we are and how encounters with the unknown can be a path to revelation and joy.

This book is for them and for any experienced sailors who want to cast off the yoke of consumerist yachting and get back to what really matters at sea.

In 1968, nine sailors set off on the most daring race ever held: to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe nonstop. It was a feat that had never been accomplished and one that would forever change the face of sailing. Ten months later, only one of the nine men would cross the finish line and earn fame, wealth, and glory. For the others, the reward was madness, failure, and death. In this extraordinary book, Peter Nichols chronicles a contest of the individual against the sea, waged at a time before cell phones and electronic positioning systems.

5 stars except for...
I enjoyed this and would have given it 5 stars except for the 30 or so minutes of the author talking about all the mystery books he wrote. I would have much rather had 30 minutes more of the celestial navigation.

Interesting, Author's Story & Technique
Where does Celestial Navigation for the Complete Idiot rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In the upper middle. Since this is not a novel, it is hard to compare a guidebook to other audiobooks
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
In addition to the theory of navigation, One thing that was unexpected and good was the author's personal story of learning navigation,
Have you listened to any of Gene Grossman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
no
What insight do you think you’ll apply from Celestial Navigation for the Complete Idiot?
Well, the simple answer is how to use a sextant!
Any additional comments?
Learning celestial navigation is a two-step process: first you have to
learn what a sextant measures, what to measure, why you measure it, what to
do with the measurement, and what the answer tells you – and this audiobook
does a really good job of explaining all of the theory involved in a simple
and easy-to-understand way. Second is the easy part: how to use the sextant
- but it’s also almost impossible to do in an audiobook, because without
being able to look through one, adjust the mirrors, and make some minor
adjustments to the instrument itself, it’s a lot like flying a plane… to
really get to know it you have to physically do it because it’s tough to
describe in a book. This author does a great job with the theory of what it
does and how it works, He also touches upon some things you should know
about using a sextant, so that when you finish this book all you have to do
is find an inexpensive plastic beginner’s sextant and practice, practice,
practice.

Well done
What did you love best about Celestial Navigation for the Complete Idiot?
I've read the readers' comments below, but some of them are about years-old print and eBook versions. I've just listened to this newly-released audio version and it appears to have been updated, so that the previously complex theory of the subject is made extremely understandable - and just the chapter on avoiding seasickness was worth the price of the book.
Any additional comments?
Concerning the author's mention of the mysteries he's also written, he described just a few of them at the end, but there's probably a reason for that: most boaters interested in Celestial Navigation are cruising sailors with plenty of time to listen to books, and mysteries are a popular favorite.
And as for another comment suggesting Bowditch as a good source, yes... he was the accepted expert on the subject, but he wasn't expecting his works to fall into the hands of idiots like me... and even if he did, none of his books are available in an audio format, making this the only one on the subject you can listen to, and I recommend it as a starter if you're interested in the subject.

Even a Rock could Understand!
Anyone who has even the slightest desire to become better acquainted with Navigating on the open sea; or even those who just want to know how Horatio Hornblower managed to find his way into the Pacific Ocean can learn a lot from this book. The website is still out there with the graphics to download, and the author explains himself so well, that even if you don't have the PDF of the graphics you'll still understand everything he's trying to get across. An Excellent Reference, and just a fun Listen!!

Too confusing
I appreciate that he tried to make a book to make it less confusing to understand celestial navigation, but his explanations sound a bit all over the place. He elaborates too much on a topic like longitude and latitude to the point where you find yourself overthinking it. I stopped at chapter 2

I’m listening to celestial navigation and all of a sudden I’m hearing lawyer stories … what the heck happened??? Seriously! Did I get a bad file or did you - for some reason that escapes me - put celestial navigation and other things i the same file?? I am truly outraged!

Title is Misleading
I truthfully feel like I wasted my money . I bought this book wanting to learn about celestial navigation. Maybe 10 percent of the book talks about celestial navigation. In an attempt to make it easier to teach he managed to make the topic more confusing by all his random analogies. The other 80 percent of the book talks about him trying to sell his other material and some intro to sailing stuff which has nothing to do with celestial navigation . Very disappointed with this book. Cash Grab……

Some clever "AH! I Got It Now!" moments
The book promises to give you an insight to celestial navigation without the complexity of the maths behind it. It delivers on that promise in 20 minutes. Honestly, some really good insights delivered in a personable, easy to comprehend, colloquial style. He offers any/all useful diagrams on his website for the asking - and honestly, not needed as he explains the visualizations eloquently. But, the other 2.5 hours are not relevant, and detract from the value of the audio book. Hearing about a drive-in-movie date with a near-sighted lady isnt helpful. Nor was a discussion on how to navigate from California to Hawaii. Or how much water the cockpit of his friend's sailboat could discharge per minute. A new edition would do well to drop all the anecdotes, and instead focus on a walk through several practical examples & gotchyas of celestial navigation - a new edition is worth because his style of delivery is good, and the insights are very good. Also, I expected a few plugs for his DVD series - if he cut 1/3rd of the plugs it would feel less 'sales-pushy'.
