Weather Strategies for the Inside Passage with Kevin Monahan

The topography of the West Coast influences the weather in unique ways; and large-scale weather patterns end up causing very localized effects by focusing waves and swells on certain areas and not on others, and by accentuating the wind in certain locations. This results in an extraordinarily complex regime of local effects, which must be taken into consideration when planning a cruise or when making daily decisions about when to travel and when to stay at anchor.  The seminar will introduce skippers to key concepts of mid-latitude depressions; offshore highs, and inflow and outflow winds, and their interactions with the geography of the Inside Passage. Certain locations must be avoided in certain winds, and other places offer safe passage, even during high winds.
