The weather affects everyone at sea, whether you are pottering
along the coast, motoring from port to port or sailing to another
continent. This book explains the basic principles that govern the
weather from a practical, on the water, sailor's point of view. It
goes through global, regional and then local weather patterns so
you understand what is happening, how this might change and why.
Armed with this knowledge and understanding you will be more
confident to make decisions about when and when not to venture out
to sea and what to expect if things change while you are out there.
Simon Rowell shares his experience as a round-the world skipper and
world-class weather forecaster. He explains the basic physics
creatively and puts it in context with real situations to enable
you to apply weather theory to practical sailing scenarios.
Hundreds of illustrations aid the communication of what can be a
complex subject, enabling you to better understand the weather and
increase your enjoyment and safety when out on the water. This book
is part of Fernhurst Books' Skipper's Library series of practical
books for the cruising sailor.
