- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2010This book is in perfect condition and I'm happy to have it. It was recommended to me by and experienced Weather Course teacher.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2013This book is packed with information to be sure, but the presentation is lacking especially for the weather novice. Diagrams aren't referenced in the text, so you have to skim ahead or behind to match text to the corresponding diagram. The author doesn't define his terms well enough either. Furthermore, the author dives right into the most complex ideas first, without a proper introduction.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2008This is a well-written book but the reader needs a basic weather textbook or general weather book to get the most of Capt. Carr's book.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2001This is the best weather prediction guide I've seen. Michael Carr makes it easy to understand and interpret weather prediction models and provides plenty of examples so you can make sense of those satellite images available online! Not only that, he applies his extensive blue water sailing experience in helping to identify appropriate tactics for heavy weather avoidance. I wouldn't go to sea without it.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 1999Michael's book gets right to the essence of using satellite images, charts, and text weather information. This is reference that should be onboard every vessel, and will be used constantly. Skills and useful tips that Michael has accumulated from over twenty years of Coast Guard, Navy and ocean sailing experience are crammed into this book...I carry a copy everywhereI go!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2006I learn pretty well from books and have taught myself some rather complex things that way. As a sailor and technical person, with some understanding of weather prediction and understanding weather charts going in, I still found the information difficult to assimilate. The author frequently uses terms without defining them, and his descriptions are often ambiguous, making understanding the material frustrating. I am reading it for the second time, and still find this to be the case. For example, he will make reference to something "below the [upper level] trough", and you need to somehow figure out whether he means closer to the equator, since the plane of the waves is north-south; or closer to the earth. The material is very useful, but he needed a better editor or proof-reader
