[PUP] Dodging Storms

[Bob Taylor]

In all my experience in dealing with storms at sea (which is not that much), I have found the best way to avoid them is to fly... if you're in a small craft you will experience bad weather no matter how fast you are. That's part of it. Be prepared and have a good stout boat.

I'm strongly with Mike.  The idea of avoiding heavy weather is fine on a 
long trip.  Sometimes changing course a few degrees can avoid a storm but 
the idea of ALWAYS being able to "see it coming" and changing course is an 
illusion.  In time it becomes clear that you are in deep trouble without a 
vessel and equipment that will allow you to withstand a storm.
