Have you ever been out in a boat? It can be good fun but always make sure you know
the right things to do. Always check the weather first.
The strength of the wind is the prime factor in planning any trip at sea. However
rain and snow need to be considered as they can affect visibility and indicate hypothermia
risk, but the wind more than any other element will dictate the state of the sea
and the safety of your trip.
