[Paddlewise] Trip planning: (Was---> Paddling in HOT conditions).

I would appreciate recommendations or useful guides and data sources for
expedition planning?

Any suggestions might be helpful here.

For example, where did Richard access the information below.?

Offshore Cruising, Navigation and Racing:  Time-Life Books, lists Key Books
and Charts:  Sailing Directions, Pilot Charts Coast Pilot and others.
