Unlock the Secrets of the Sea

Unlock the Secrets of the Sea

Want to unlock the secrets of the sea and navigate with confidence? Then dive into the Imray Explorer Guides Bundle, a collection of three insightful guides that demystify the forces that shape our coastal waters.

Written by experienced sailor and Tide School founder William Thomson, these concise and accessible books offer a clear explanation of tides, tidal streams, and the moon's influence, using straightforward language and vivid illustrations. Whether you're a sailor, kayaker, or simply curious about the sea, this bundle will equip you with the knowledge to understand and predict the dynamic forces at play.

Here's what you'll gain from this essential bundle:

  • Imray Explorer Guide - Tides: Grasp the fundamental concepts of tides and how they are influenced by the moon, sun, and coastal geography. Learn to predict tides with confidence and plan your adventures accordingly.
  • Imray Explorer Guide - Tidal Streams: Understand how and why tidal currents flow, and how they are influenced by geography and weather patterns. Learn to interpret charts, anticipate changes in current direction, and avoid hazards.
  • Imray Explorer Guide - The Moon: Discover the fascinating relationship between the moon and tides. Learn to predict tides by observing the moon's phases and position, enhancing your navigation skills.

More than just guides, this bundle offers:

  • Accessible learning: Enjoy a clear and concise approach that makes complex concepts easy to understand, regardless of your background.
  • Practical application: Apply your newfound knowledge to real-world scenarios, whether you're navigating a boat, planning a swim, or exploring the coast.
  • A deeper connection to the sea: Appreciate the dynamic forces that shape our coastlines and enhance your understanding of the marine environment.

Praise for the Imray Explorer Guides series:

  • "These three small booklets represent an interesting new 'explainer' approach...The central concept being conveyed in Tides is that of the single long wave moving in great circles... The Moon inculcates understanding of the different characteristics of each phase... Tidal Streams explains (rather brilliantly I thought) why ebb tides happen... It's especially useful for considering and calculating the time of slack water... It's perhaps easy to assume that the approach in these little books would best suit younger people...but many of us older ones...will find it refreshing to make new links between what we know...and what we observe..." — Julia Jones, Yachting Monthly
