All of these aids are usefull but there is no substitute for time outdoors. Read the books, carry the field guids and refer to them as you observe and make guesses as to what the weather will do over the next few hours. Try to figure out why you guessed wrong when you miss, and what was the tip that allowed you to get it right. Direct observation will nearly always work for the next few hours. Next day forecasts are not nearly as important as what is happening now and what will happen in the next hour. You can plan for the future, but you must act now. michael *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Dec 11 1998 - 06:55:21 PST
