  2. Sorry, but I have to call out incorrect information on this page.  Wave height is measured from the top of the crest to the bottom of the trough of the adjoining wave.  Measuring from a base line, flat calm for instance, to the top of a wave, is not wave height, it is amplitude. 

     

    The NOAA buoy information should not be doubled to understand the actual wave height being measured since the readings of the buoys are measuring wave height as described above.  Buoys travel up and down with the wave action and measure total vertical movement, not just amplitude.

     

    My experience is that many captains think they are in far bigger seas than they actually are and  misinterpret wave period and wave steepness for bigger waves.  Steep waves with a short period will seem far bigger than deep swells with a long period.   Ocean swells of 6 feet with a long period pose little problems for many boats while 6 foot breaking waves with a short period will often been very dangerous for the same vessel.

    Agreed ! :yes:

  3. Hi Dan, I have no problem with you selling the book, but be honest with your customers. This is a book that the author had printed overseas. Due to a computer cliche they were printed with more than one chart reversed and more than two typos. Be honest with your customers. The author wouldn't  sell then because he didn't want to tarnish his reputation. You sell them for $75, then $60. If you or the author would take the time to make a one page list of errors and corrections the book would be good. As it is now unless you are experienced ( in which case you don't need the book ), you know some things are obviously wrong and have no confidence on what else is wrong. The sale of one book would reimburse you for the correction page. Be honest with your customers.   John

    1. Dan, you are right, I publicly apologize to you for getting mad and blowing off steam. You are right again that most of the errors are minor. The typos can be ignored by anyone that can spell, the chart reversals can be used by anyone that is a little familiar with that line or device. The problem is if you are not familiar you don't have confidence which is correct. I still can not access www.precisionangling.com , I would request the author proof  read the book and list corrections on a sheet of paper so that less knowledgeable people can have confidence in the information in the book.  Please pass my suggestion/request on or PM me the email address so I can do it. Again, I apologize for blasting you.  John

  4. Great rally in Albany today, Heir Cuomo was on Long Island, a lot of great speakers, a lot of great signs, around 5,000 attendees, hope you can make one of the future rallies around the state, we are not going to win without a fight. One bit of good news, Heir Cuomo decided not to expand Bloombutts soda ban to the rest of the state  LOL
