John Huth Weather Wind and Waves WorkshopWeather and Waves Workshop
Sunday , February 28, 2016
Meeting Room REI , Reading, MA,
11:30-4:00PM
John Huth once again has volunteered his time to present a workshop for NSPN on Weather Wind and Waves and how these apply to sea kayaking. This John's past presentations have been favorites of club members. John is a long time NSPN member, with a unique set of qualifications to present on this subject as he is both a physics professor/ lecturer at Harvard University and an experienced sea kayaker. John's experiences as a sea kayaker have stimulated him to focus some of his academic research on kayak related aspects of the physical world.
This is a workshop you won't want to miss.,
Johns past courses have broadly covered issues of weather and waves: the approach of warm and cold fronts, how to read cloud formations, wind, consider the air circulation around high and low pressure systems, and how to evaluate weather signs. Members have come away from past workshops with a heightened understanding and appreciation of the physical forces that affect us while on the water: this session will help the sea kayaker evaluate and respond to rapidly changing local conditions through observations and decision making.
The session will last from 11:30AM to @ 4:00PM and were all be ample opportunity for snacks, questions and participation.
REI opens on Sunday morning at 11:00AM
The Meeting Room is in the left rear of the store.
Please RSVP here in the calendar posting for this session: REI has not-unlimited space and past workshops have been very well attended.
