This show of Mother Nature’s powers can be frightening at the very least, and fatal in its worst form. Weather for Boaters presents many of the basic meteorological principles that create our weather, and is an excellent primer for the more advanced Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons course, Introduction to Weather For Recreational Boaters.

Please register for Weather For Boaters on Jul 8, 2020 8:00 PM EDT here.

Monthly webinar schedule available here.
