Weather Signs From a Seafaring Captain at Sea Coast
A grizzled seaman Captain Rich of the three masted schooner Fred Walton shares infallible weather signs. If a heavy frost appears at night wind shifts southward by morning. Seeing sun moon and stars together signals a heavy gale tomorrow. Before sunset, if large shapes dance after closing eyes wind will be strong and good weather may follow. A shooting star's fall direction predicts next day wind.
