Captain Bucko is a Must Read!

If you've ever wondered where many of our popular everyday expressions come from, you will find the answers in Captain Bucko's Nauti-Words Handbook. There are hundreds of nautical terms and everyday expressions described by the author, Roger Huff, in a fascinating and humorous style. And the author is no landlubber just doing research at a library; he has credentials as a seaman and a professional oceanographer. I recommend this book as an excellent reference source for all who are interested in the origins of nautical terms.


Bucko's Banter

I spent four years at sea and wanted to know more about the language I used. This book is written in a very readable style, with good use of humor, the explanations are easily understood, and it seems to be rather comprehensive.
