I copied this weather forecast directly from the weather report for San Francisco Bay this morning. \u00a0You can pretty much copy and paste it into every day’s forecast between the middle of June and the middle of September, and you won’t be far off. \u00a0With that in mind, it won’t always be summer, and the forecasts will change. \u00a0Today might be a good time for you to start learning what tools are\u00a0available and how to use them. \u00a0While putting together an email to send to an approaching Advanced Coastal Cruising class, I realized that the information in the message might be of interest to everyone.<\/p>\n
These are some links that I use on a regular basis to assist me in deciding if weather conditions are good for sailing. \u00a0You will notice there is a definite lean towards “outside the gate,” however, the links and information can be used pretty much anywhere. \u00a0Some of these are already on the Tradewinds site, and you may have already found them.\u00a0 Some of the other links are not.<\/p>\n
