Product Information

At 1909, the 2 nd Mate responded that, if necessary, “we have [alternative] routes” through Mayaguana, Crooked Island, and Northeast Providence Channel, referring to passages through the Bahamas that are long-established routes for avoiding storms. The Master did not reply. Dave is also a member of the electronic-guitar duo SCISSORGUN with Alan Hempsall (Crispy Ambulance) and also SPECTRAL BAZAAR with Ruth Davies. Appraisal ofall relevant information, inclusive of obtaining and reviewing all relevant seasonal weather and weather forecast data. At 0409 on 1 Oct., the Master arrived on the bridge. Unbelievably, he announced that he had “Slept like a baby.” Shortly afterwards, a succession of events on board the ‘El Faro’ took place that were to spell disaster.

This situation continued throughout the day of 30 Sept. Hurricane reports were broadcast from the Hurricane Centre using INMARSAT C/SafetyNET but not all of them were recorded as being received on board the ‘EL Faro’. The Master sent the usual noon position report to owners and advised that, with respect to the hurricane, ‘precautions were being taken’. It is notable that the hurricane wind speeds reported to owners were significantly less than the speeds advised by the Hurricane Centre. The almanac is very informative, especially for younger students. Students at the elementary school are always looking for books about ocean life. This would make a great addition to the reference collection for students interested in researching for papers, projects, or other assignments. More detailed information, which is updated regularly by UK Notices to Mariners, is available from the UK Hydrographic Office’s six volume publication ‘Admiralty List of Radio Signals’ (ALRS). GMDSS weather forecast information is provided by Volume 3 (NP283) – Maritime Safety Information Services (Parts 1& 2) which covers:urn:lcp:oceanalmanac00hend:epub:5645a357-e6b8-4cac-8ef5-fb741496fb15 Extramarc University of Michigan Foldoutcount 0 Identifier oceanalmanac00hend Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t3rv1dn79 Isbn 0385140770 At 1831, the 2nd Mate sent a text enquiry to the Master: “What’s your plan?” The Master’s reply was to “steam our normal direct route” to San Juan and, according to his assessments of the forecasts, Joaquin would “remain North of us.” Completely updated for 2024, it offers ready access to essential navigation information by virtue of its clear layout and user friendly format. Topics include seamanship, pilotage, tide tables, safety procedures, navigation tips, radio, lights, waypoints, weather forecast information, communications, Mayday and distress procedures. The large type size and clear layout, including full colour harbour plans and diagrams throughout, makes information easy to read even in adverse conditions. It is the complete guide for both Irish and Welsh mariners as well as those cruising the UK west coast.

The Indian Ocean occupies 70,560,000 square km area on the Earth’s surface. The Eurasian landmass lies to the north of the Indian Ocean, Australia to the east, Africa to the west and the Southern Ocean and Antarctica to the south. 3,741 m is the average depth of the Indian Ocean, and its deepest point is Diamantina Deep. The depth in this region is 8,047 m.

The Southern Ocean, once called the Antarctic Ocean, surrounds the continent of Antarctica and was renamed in 1999. This ocean’s large, strong, circumpolar current carries 150 times more water than all of the world’s rivers combined. When it flows near the strong currents in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans, it mixes with their waters. The Southern Ocean’s fierce winds and storms, sea ice, and icebergs have made its waters the least explored in the world. Its currents, sea ice, and cold waters can affect climateeverywhere.
