[PeterB]

 John Huth Weather and Waves Workshop  

Sunday , February 28th  

Meeting Room REI , Reading, MA 

11:30AM to 4:00 PM  

(THIS EVENT has been  RESCHEDULED from February 13th) 

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. John's past presentations have been favorites of club members. 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  experienced  sea kayaker. Johns  experiences as a sea kayaker  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. "The Lost Art of Finding Our Way"      
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. ,  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 11:30 PM to  @ 4:00PM and there there all be ample opportunity for snacks, questions and  participation. 
The REI meeting room is in the right rear of the store. REI opens at 11:00AM on Sundays.  
 

Please RSVP in the calendar posting for this session: REI has  not-unlimited space and past workshops have been very well attended.
