Advice to Boater: Keep ‘Weather Eye’

CAPE MAY - One of life’s most harrowing experiences for the boater, especially the small craft skipper, is being caught far out on the water in foul weather, according to Mel Ellis, Commander, Flotilla 82, U S. Coast Guard

Auxiliary.

Skippers of all ages must keep a continuous, wary eye on the weather, Ellis explained. With little warning, a calm, sunny day can transform into threatening, even dangerous conditions - sometimes in a matter of minutes. Line squalls, thunderstorms, local fogs and the like cannot always

be predicted.

up or ride out the bad weather until it passes. Ellis further stated that heavy weather normally does not endanger a wellfound boat. If it has a high free board at the stem it might be safer to turn the stem to the sea and head for shelter. Outboards with a low transom should never be run in a following sea (where waves are coming toward the stem) as waves travel at high speeds and can swamp a boat or drown its engine. THE BEST advice. Ellis warned, is for skippers to know their boat, its capabilities and its limitations in rough weather - also the skipper's own capabilities, know-how and limitations for piloting in heavy weather.. Instruction on handling the weather situation, before and during a cruise, is covered thoroughly in the U S. Coast Guard Boating Skills and Seamanship course.
