As most of us know, weather can change very quickly, especially out at sea. That’s why it’s important to not only check the weather before you leave, but also while you’re out and about. By checking the weather regularly, you will be able to change your course or return to shore if sudden changes occur. Don’t forget to keep in mind what you and your vessel can handle when looking at the forecast – if in doubt don’t go out! If you do decide to go out, it’s important to check that all your safety equipment is up to date, especially your lifejackets!
