John Huth once again has volunteered his time to present a workshop for NSPN members to understand weather and how these apply to sea kayaking. John is a long time NSPN member, and has a unique set of qualifications to present on this subject as he is both a physics professor/lecturer at Harvard University and an accomplished kayaker. His experiences on the sea have stimulated him to focus some of his academic research on kayak-related aspects of the physical world, and he recently published a book on primitive navigation entitled "The Lost Art of Finding Our Way.” 
Johns past weather courses have broadly covered weather topics such as: the approach of warm and cold fronts, how to read cloud formations, wind, 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 is a workshop you won't want to miss.  The session will run from 11:30am to 4:00pm and will consist of two parts with a half-hour break in between and an open Q&A at the end.  The address for REI can be found in this calendar posting, and the meeting room is in the right rear of the store. Doors open at 11:00am and the store closes at 6:00pm for those interested in picking up a few items.  We have reached maximum capacity for this event, and RVSPs are now closed.
