Living Through The Gale - Being prepared for heavy weather at sea

Tom Cunliffe

Maison d'édition: Fernhurst Books Limited

Synopsis

Heavy weather is a lurking spectre that most of us hope and plan to avoid, but not even internet forecasting can make it go away. Anyone intent on crossing oceans must be ready to deal with it if it comes, as well it may. Even well-informed inshore and continental-shelf sailors will inevitably be caught out sooner or later. The object of this slim, quickly absorbed volume is to give everyone, whatever their passage-making aspirations, a sound brief so that whether they find themselves at the wrong end of a force-six blow along the coast, or confronting serious waves far out at sea, they are fully aware of their options for taking it in their stride.Heavy weather is a lurking spectre that most of us hope and plan to avoid, but not even internet forecasting can make it go away.

Spider-Man - The Ultimate Trivia...

Trivia Hub

SPIDER-MAN
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a teenager who gains superhuman abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider. His powers include enhanced strength, speed, agility, and a precognitive “spider-sense”. He uses self-designed wrist-mounted web shooters. Initially using his powers for personal gain, Peter embraces heroism after his Uncle Ben's death, learning, “With great power comes great responsibility”. Spider-Man is unique for his teenage perspective, lacking a mentor, and dealing with relatable issues such as rejection and financial struggles. His popularity led to multiple comic series, and he has become a cultural icon appearing in numerous media.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
Spider-Man's first appearance was in Amazing Fantasy #15 in August 1962, and the comic was originally intended to be the last issue of the series. The editorial page of that issue, however, anticipated that Spider-Man would be a continuing feature in future issues, even though that was not originally the plan.
Stan Lee said that the idea for Spider-Man came from seeing a spider climb a wall, but in his autobiography, he admits he's told the story so often that he is unsure if it is true. The pulp magazine character, The Spider, also influenced the creation of Spider-Man, who like that character was wanted by the law and criminal underworld.
Although teenage superheroes at the time usually had names ending with "boy," Stan Lee chose the name "Spider-Man" because he wanted the character to age as the series progressed. He also added a hyphen to the name because it looked too similar to Superman.
