Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2006 14:41:13 EST
Dear Great Lakes paddlers and all other weather and oceanography  geeks,
 
David Burch from Starpath navigation has assembled a collection of 10 of  the 
Environment Canada's Wind, Weather and Waves guide to marine weather on the  
Great Lakes. According to his newsletter there are no further plans for 
printing  and you could miss out on this very well written guide. And you wouldn't 
want  that to happen now, would you?

I'm sure many Great Lakes paddling vets have this fine book, but in case  you 
do not this could be your last chance to spend ten measley dollars and  
update your understanding of our inland seas. Other than a well worn copy of rev  
1.02 of Fundamentals of Kayak Navigation, I have no connection to Mr  Burch's 
organization.
 
Good reading to you,
 
Rob G

Just to point out:  This book has a lot of useful weather information that 
applies to all regions, not just the Great Lakes.  It is also well written and 
understandable compared to some other weather info sources.  At least one 
Paddlewiser is quoted in the book.

I first found out about this one from a young Coast Guard officer from Britt 
(http://kayakwiki.org/index.php/Byng_Inlet) who had come to a local kayak 
symposium in one of those super-duper unsinkable auto-righting mega zodiac CG 
boats.  He also mentioned that his dad was the one who was responsible for the 
production of this book.
