Book overview
From oceans to puddles, lakes to streams, rain to fog, our planet is covered in water of all kinds. And once you learn to read water's hidden clues the way writer and navigator Tristan Gooley can, the world becomes a trove of secret signs. In How to Read Water, Gooley shares hundreds of techniques from his far-flung adventures, which include sailing solo across the Atlantic, navigating with Omani tribespeople, canoeing in Borneo, and walking in his own backyard. Here, you'll discover how to find north using puddles, forecast the weather from waves, decode the colors of ponds, spot dangerous water in the dark, decipher wave patterns on beaches, and much more!
