A note on The Shadow in the Sands by Sam Llewellyn… It is a sequel to The Riddle of the Sands, which recently came up in an SCA comment thread. If you like the one, you’ll like the other.
To us, one of the most valuable books in the stack is The Practical Piilot: coastal navigation by eye, intuition and common sense by Leonard Eyges (the title is illegible in the pic). His techniques are developed for small boats, and we use them far more often than any of the standard navigational techniques.

I have the same book on boat building from Sam Rabl! I was wondering if I had the only copy…
Nope. I have it too.
