    Eek How to Avoid Huge Ships - A book you need in your life!

    bok_skip_8169993x4-600x800.jpg

    This book really is one of the best huge ship avoidance references I've come across, not just for the effective methods it teaches as to avoiding huge ships, but also for exploding some of the huge ship avoidance myths that many of us take for granted.


    For example:
    - Do not charge the huge ship at full speed in an attempt to scare it off. This may work with coyotes, but it is less effective with huge ships.
    - Similarly, do not roll your boat over and play dead. Unless the huge ship is captained by a grizzly bear, this will not work.
    - Do not attempt to go under the huge ship. This is typically not successful.
    - Do not attempt to jump over the huge ship.

    As the father of two teenagers, I found this book invaluable. I'm sure other parents here can empathise when I say I shudder at the thought of the increasing presence of huge ships in the lives of my children.

    I certainly remember the strain I caused so long ago for my own parents when I began experimenting with huge ships. The long inter-continental voyages that kept my mum and dad up all night with worry.

    Don't even get me started on the international protocols when transporting perishable cargo. To think, I was even younger than my kids are now! Huge ships are everywhere and it doesn't help that the tv and movies make huge ships seem glamorous and cool. This book helped me really approach the subject of huge ships with my kids in an honest and non judgmental way.

    Because of the insights this book provided, I can sleep a little better and cope with the reality that I can't always be there to protect my kids from huge ships, especially as they become adults. I'm confident that my teens, when confronted by a huge ship, are much better prepared to make wiser decisions than I did. At the very least my children certainly know that they can always come to me if they have any concerns, questions or just need my support when it comes to the topic of huge ships.

    Thank you Syko. This book has the possibility to change my life more than my current favourite life changing book.

    Or even this one, which is really far fetched................
