The Boater's Weather Guide: Revised and Expanded 2nd Edition

Description

Sooner or later everyone who ventures out on the water will encounter strong winds and confused seas, fog, thunderstorms, or heavy rain.

Part I presents a logical explanation of climate and weather, concentrating on those aspects that affect the mariner the most—wind speed and direction, low visibility, thunderstorms, gales, and hurricanes. The second part, which can be read independently, deals with the effects of climate and weather on the boater without delving into the whys and wherefores—a practical approach for those who want only the needed facts.
