Thorny vs Thornless Path

Many have stated the book to read is Van Sants 'Passages South' for those crossing from Fl to the VI. I just did searches on Thorny and Thornless and numerous times the book is mentioned. And, not only in this forum. I find the 53 pages on weather and weather statagies absolutely unreadable. Is it just me? It isn't learning all the new terms it is the way it is written.

Has anyone read and understood the weather information and actually have it help them get through the Thorny path Tornlessly?

I just ordered Chris Parkers 'Coastal and Offshore Weather', maybe his sentence structure is easier to follow.

Sorry if I sound a bit touchy but several days of trying to read this stuff is getting to me.
