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? Link: _http://www.starpath.com/catalog/books/1829.htm_ (http://www.starpath.com/catalog/books/1829.htm) 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 *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

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.
