A weather radio can be handy but (always a but) they provide wide area forecasts that may not be applicable in your specific area. This particularly applies in areas with katabatic winds, thunder storms, significant natural land features, and the possibility that a weather system may not move as predicted. --------------- Geesh, and I thought it was me. I listened to NOAA faithfully 3 times a day but their forecasts didn't seem to match what I was experiencing half the time. The big winds and big waves and thunderstorms and the fog never seemed to materialize so I stopped taking the forecasts as gospel and started doing pretty much my own thing. I always figured I must be somewhere other than where I thought??? *************************************************************************** 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 Tue Dec 15 1998 - 05:27:45 PST
