About this ebook
Anchoring is a necessary skill for any boater--power or sail--whether for a picnic lunch in a secluded cove or for an overnight visit in a distant anchorage.
This 16-panel, foldout guide provides fast, easy-to-follow instructions for safe and efficient anchoring. Printed in full color on hinged, heavily laminated, waterproof stock, this tough resource holds its own even in rough weather.
Peter Nielsen
Peter Nielsen was born in the Bay Area in the late 1950s to a young executive on the rise and a beautiful mother who hailed from a small rural town in central Utah. His family moved to another small town in Southern California named Piru when he was very young. They lived there for 3 years until the family packed up and moved to Washington DC. It was the late 1960s when they moved to the east coast and a time of exciting and dangerous developments in the world. A few years later, when Peter was in the sixth grade, the family moved back to Southern California and settled in the San Diego area. After graduating from La Jolla high school, in the late 1970s during a period of great political and cultural instability, Peter traveled to and lived in the country of Guatemala. His view of the world was forever changed as he learned to understand and appreciate the plight of the people there. After 2 years he came home, graduated from college and began a career working for various multinational banking organizations. He had a front row seat when the "Great recession" of the late 2000s and the early 2010s came crashing down on the banking world. He was an important piece of a team of professionals who were employed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and were tasked with helping to resolve the terrible financial crisis that hit them all. He now lives with his wife, Kathie, in Tustin, California. They have three children and six grandchildren.
