Podręcznik żeglugi po europejskich śródlądowych drogach wodnych. Książka prosto i przejrzyście wyjaśnia zasady żeglugi po rzekach i kanałach, formalności, przepisy, opłaty, niezbędne wyposażenie łodzi, techniki cumowania czy śluzowania. Jakkolwiek część z nich może się wydawać prosta czy znana, różnorodność rozwiązań technicznych i prawnych może zaskoczyć. Jak samodzielnie otwierać mniejsze śluzy, jak zacumowac do kamienistego brzegu, jak zabezpieczyć burtę odbijaczami, by przepływająca barka i jej fala nie rozbiła burty - dowiemy się właśnie z tej książki. Dużym atutem jest wykład z przepisów zgodnych z konwencją CEVNI - popularną na europejskich wodach. Książka w języku angielskim.
