Sometimes our friend, sometimes our foe, the wind is an interesting and wonderful thing.  This is a neat article from the 2012 Paddling Buyers Guide of little known facts about The Wind.

Betcha don't know - The fastest wind speed recorded on earth and on a planet in our solar system - What the Coriolis effect is - What creates wind - Names of regional winds.  Read the article for the answers to these bits of trivia so next time when the Wind category comes up during Jeopardy you'll blow the competition away!  (I'd also like to nominate that for my worst pun ever...).  

Check out the entire article online for FREE in the 2012 Paddling Buyers Guide.
