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, profoundly affected by coast shapes, water depths and meteorological conditions." — Julia Jones, Yachting Monthly
"It's perhaps easy to assume that the approach in these little books would best suit younger people as they learn to make sense of the marine world 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

Whether you're a seasoned sailor, a coastal explorer, or simply curious about the natural world, this guide will deepen your understanding of the tides and their impact on our coastal adventures.
