Weather You’ve probably heard ‘Red sky at night, sailor’s delight; red sky in morning, sailors take warning’, but did you ever wonder why that is so? In this session we will cover many aspects of weather as it related to sailing, including:
• Weather basics: high and low pressure, warm and cold fronts, and what it all means for the sailor.
