MARINE WEATHER - JAN 9 2025
The safety and comfort of those who venture out-on-the water have always been weather dependent. In this course students will become keener observers of the weather, but weather observations only have meaning in the context of the basic principles of meteorology — the science of the atmosphere. The course focuses on how weather systems form, behave, move, and interact with one another and reflects the availability of all sorts of weather reports and forecasts on the Internet. Wx2012 is a general weather course benefiting those sitting in their living rooms, as much as those standing behind the helm. Each student receives:

a Weather Manual - USPS Weather - an explanatory text with full color photographs and drawings covering weather in the United States and its coastal and inland waters;
a set of three Daily Weather Maps - learning aids with a compete explanation of map symbols designed to develop weather map reading and analysis skills; and
NOAA’s Sky Watcher Chart - a reference to assist in identifying cloud types – helpful indicators of approaching weather.

Weather is designed to be conducted over ten two-hour classroom sessions, but each instructor will determine the pace of the course.
Cost:  General public, includes a textbook, $80, and $20 for another member of the same household sharing the one text. Power squadron members and students are $60 with the same $20 for another household member sharing the same text.

Staying because of Friends

We are your friends and neighbors living in East Jefferson county who are members of an organization which encourages and promotes safe, skilled handling and navigation of sail and power boats. We are a local unit of the United States Power Squadrons®, a voluntary, non-profit fraternal boating organization that has the objectives of education and civic service.  We end up being life-long friends enjoying the wonders of Puget Sound together.

Great Education

Safe and fun water sports start with solid basics about water craft operation and safety both on and off of the water. We offer America's Boating Course, seminars, training  for the beginning through the advanced mariner.
