Bluewater Cruising Upcoming Weather Forecasting Seminars
June 5, 2016
Offshore Weather Forecasting with Scott Crawshaw, July 9-10 (9:00-4:30), SNSYC, Sidney BC
Forecasting and withstanding weather conditions are major aspects of cruising under sail and power, whether riding it out offshore, seeking safety in a protected anchorage, or avoiding being too close to a lee shore. This two day workshop begins with the fundamentals of weather (see Basic Weather Forecasting) and shows how weather satellites and technology have transformed forecasting to show cruisers the best way to combine their own observations with technology. The Bluewater Cruising Association is pleased to announce that renowned mariner and instructor, Scott Crawshaw, will again be teaching this highly regarded course.
