The safety and comfort of those who venture out-on-the-water have always been weather dependent. Are the winds too strong? What is a small craft advisory? This seminar, a must for boaters who have never taken a weather course, will help you answer these questions and gain an understanding of the forces acting on your boat. The complex subject of weather is presented in a way that is both understandable and useful. Topics include:
· What causes weather
· How weather systems move
· Why winds blow
· What clouds tell us
· How storms and fronts create foul weather
· Why fog forms
