Inside Passage Weather Strategies

Spend two mornings online with instructor-extraordinaire, Kevin Monahan, learning just how much you don’t know about weather strategies for the Inside Passage.

This seminar focuses on the unique weather patterns of the west coast, and how to make decisions based on weather forecasts. It will will introduce participants to key concepts of mid-latitude depressions, offshore highs, and inflow and outflow winds, and their interactions with the geography of the Inside Passage. Once you understand the dynamics of the most common weather patterns that occur in the region, you can develop strategies that take advantage of the weather patterns for a more comfortable and more enjoyable cruise.  Open to BCA members and non-members.

Note:  The seminar is not intended to teach actual forecasting of large scale weather patterns. Participants will be shown how to apply the information in weather forecasts and local weather reports to better understand actual conditions in specific locations on the water.

Course Format

Each two hour presentation will be followed by ½ hour of questions. There is no need to subscribe to Zoom, just register for Inside Passage Weather Strategies and we’ll send a link to you a couple of days before the course.
