Navigation, Sea State, Weather - Freedom of the Seas Volume 1

Paddlers journey along the boundaries between sea, air and land. Volume 1 of the Freedom of the Seas series contains an important slice of paddling knowledge regarding these boundaries — information about navigation, sea, state and weather.
