The Sailor's Book of the Weather by Simon Keeling
Introducing key principles that influence the weather, this guide gives sailors the tools to forecast from observations and the available information. Wind, clouds and weather patterns are all covered, arming mariners with the knowledge required to predict the weather accurately. Illustrated with charts and beautiful photographs, this book is a must for anyone who ventures onto the water, whatever your boat, experience or sailing location.
"..useful book...helpful illustrations and a chatty style, it breezes through the basic principles...full of useful website links". (Yachting Monthly) "Giving you the tools to forecast from observations and how to make the most of this information." (Boat Mart) “Written in straightforward language with the science presented in an easy-to-digest manner.” (Julian Stockwin)
