These current stream tidal atlas' enable prediction of tidal currents in their respective areas at any time of the year. Each booklet contains the tidal current cycle in twelve intervals for each area, using charts overlayed with tidal information. Charts are in black and white (Narragansett Bay charts are in color), and large format for ease of reading.
Chesapeake Bay: For the Chesapeake regions of Maryland and Virginia featuring both the Upper and Lower Bay. The Upper Bay extends from the western end of the Chesapeake and Delaware Ship Canal to Cedar Point at the mouth of the Patuxent River.

The Sailor's Wind |
|
 |
The Sailor's Wind By: Stuart H. Walker 384 Pages Stuart Walker's intelligent, straightforward explanation of why wind behaves as it does and what it is likely to do next draws upon his sixty-plus years of sailing experience and his vast knowledge of meteorology. The Sailor's Wind first describes each aspect of wind behavior in context, challenging readers to analyze wind flow as though they were experiencing it on the water. It also explains what principles determined the wind's behavior, using recent meteorological research, instrumented observations, and studies of computer models. This book enables sailors not only to understand the wind but also to harness it. |

Whether you sail a dinghy, a yacht or a board, enormous gains can be made by understanding how the water moves. This book explains clearly how to find out about the predicted water flow, how local effects will modify it, and how to plan your strategy on an Olympic triangle, an inshore course or an offshore race. |
