THOMASTON, Maine — The Marine Systems Training Center in Thomaston recently scheduled a two-day class featuring marine weather topics presented by Ken McKinley, chief meteorologist of Locus Weather in Camden, Maine. The course will be held Feb. 4-5.

Information will be presented on common weather systems and how they affect yachting and commercial boating activities. The course is designed for all mariners with an interest in marine weather: delivery captains, yacht racers, or offshore and coastal cruising boaters.


The course is $425 and includes lunch both days. To enroll contact the Marine Systems Training Center at 207-354-8803 or info@marinesystemstraining.com.

Seems pretty interesting has anyone ever attended one of these classes or is this class new to the market?

Probably not a bad idea for some to attend.

This way some can learn the difference between a typical Noreast snow storm and a real catastrophic blizzard.
