Oceanography for Boaters
wind | currents | waves | tides | weather | and much more!
| These series of talks are for anyone who wants to learn more about the ocean they play in. Practical applications through knowledge of oceanography will enable the boater to understand the conditions around them and aid them in predicting what lies ahead of their bow wave. | |
