1.2 Adverse Conditions
1.2.1 Weather
At all times, the boat operator should be aware of present weather condi-
tions and the weather forecast. Check the forecast before you begin a day of
boating. Be aware, however, that weather conditions can change rapidly. If
you have a marine radio, listen to the weather reports issued by the U.S.
Coast Guard and others. If you have a portable radio, keep it tuned to a
station broadcasting frequent weather reports. Many boating clubs fly
weather signals; learn to recognize these signals.
Storms rarely appear without advance notice. If storms are a possibility,
keep a watch on the horizon, especially to the West, for their approach.
Watch for changes in wind direction or cloud formations. There is no substi-
tute for a good understanding of weather conditions and what to do when
the weather takes a turn for the worse.
If a storm is approaching, the best course of action is to return to port. If
you are unable to do so, then prepare to weather the storm:
