Praise for the Imray Explorer Guides series:

"These three small booklets represent an interesting new 'explainer' approach... 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

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