this should be mandatory training for all new maritime forecasters. understanding how different wave characteristics impact and create hazards is essential.

If you are really a sailor, just take the quiz and THINK your way through it. Save doing the actual coursework for a rainey night just prior to the summer boating season (Memorial Day to Labor Day); wishing you 'Fair Winds and Following Seas".

It is very interesting to understand about our marine customers because we can learn from their concerns and we can improve our service with better and high quality of weather information. They are also our main income who pay our service.
