You know the weather. .America Somoa

It can be both friend and foe. Calm winds and seas make for enjoyable
power boating, waterskiing, and fishing. A fresh breeze and a light
chop provide an invigorating sailing or wind surfing experience. But
the sudden emergence of dark clouds, shifting and gusty winds,
torrential downpours and lightning can turn a day's pleasure into a
nightmare of distress. Here are some tips on howto keep your pleasure
and safety to a maximum.
Plan for boating fun. . .
Several days ahead of time start listening for the National Weather
Service extended 5-day outlooks onNOAA Weather Radio, AM/FM radio,and
TV. The outlooks give general information to help you decide whether
or not to continue making plans.
Before Setting Out. . .
Pay close attention to the TV weathercast and listen to detailed
marine weather forecasts on NOAA Weather Radio. Take note of small
boat cautionary statements, Small Craft Advisories, or Gale or Storm
Warnings in the forecasts. The Advisories and Warnings (see
definitions) alert mariners to higher winds and waves either occurring
now or forecast to occur up to 24 hours from now. Advisories and
Warnings for conditions expected later give mariners time to take
action to protect life and property.
After setting out . . .
Don't touch that dial! Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio. You know
theweather--it changes! The change often occurs out of your sight and
may be headed your way. Updated warnings and forecasts are aired
immediately on NOAA Weather Radio, alerting you to changes that may
require action on your part. Butyou can help yourself . . . It's up to
YOU!
While on the water, stay alert.. .
*. Check NOAA Weather Radio for latest warnings and forecasts.
*. Watch for signs of approaching storms:
*. dark, threatening clouds that mayforetell a squall or thunderstorm
*. a steady increase in wind or sea
*. lightning flashes.
*. An increase in wind opposite in direction to a strong tidal
currentmay lead to steep waves capable of broaching a boat.
*. Heavy static on your AM radio may be an indication of nearby
thunderstorm activity.
*. If a thunderstorm is approaching, head for shore if possible. Get
out of your boat and away from the water. Find shelter immediately.
*. If a thunderstorm catches you while afloat, remember that
gustywinds and lightning pose a threat to safety.
*. Put on your personal flotation device and prepare for rough seas.
*. Stay below deck if possible.
*. Keep away from metal objects that are not grounded to the boat's
protection system.
*. Don't touch more than one grounded object at the same time(or you
may become a shortcut for electrical surges passing through the
protection system).
Radio Tips
If you have a VHF transceiver with built-in NOAA Weather Radio
channels, use them. If your VHF radio is not equipped with weather
channels, you may want to buy a VHF weather radio--they're readily
available. Keep in mind, however, broadcast reception varies with the
location of you and the transmitter,the quality of the radio, and any
obstructions. A broad, average range is 20 to 40 miles. If you venture
beyond that range, you should consider buying a good quality HF single
sideband transceiver to add to your VHF. It may be more expensive, but
it is worth it to be able to get the information that may save your
life and property.
