A unique contribution to understanding tropical weather
David Jones has upgraded a work that was already distinguished as a unique contribution to the mariner's understanding of weather conditions in the tropics. It still stands as the clearest and most understandable exposition of the weather patterns that characterize the Caribbean region and the distinct ways in which they differ from those we experience in the higher latitudes. It merits close study by the southbound passage maker, who will find its contents useful on a daily basis while cruising the beautiful but potentially rough Caribbean waters. Short and to the point, it is filled with valuable tips: wind patterns on inter-island passages, barometric differences and likely wind speeds; daily wind and barometer patterns, and the hazards of tropical storms. Deserves space not just on the bookshelf, but handy at the chart desk of any boat cruising the Caribbean.
