4/ My sources of forecast on the : Willyweather (hourly wind direction/speed +…) along with other sources, especially when on extended transects--1) The NWS Marine Forecast is especially useful as it predicts sea conditions (wave height) and gives a description of building or declining conditions, plus fog. 2) Live-stream local data to help "ground" the predictions: NOAA buoy data (always) and maps of radar images and lightning strikes (inclement weather).

1/ at the ! Went to the on , MA yesterday to first relax, then go open ocean for fun and . Watched this ominous storm move by us for a couple of hours. Before the , the wind began shifting dramatically (bringing the rain clouds toward us). A driving rain began partway into my swim and I finished in the rain— no problem, already wet!

Yes, I spend some time at "that other website" because there are still gems like this tweet:

twitter.com/KkHimalaya/status/

...where I found out about 's Archipelago.

Quotes: "...37% of Socotra’s 825 species, 90% of its species and 95% of its land species do not occur anywhere else in the world."

Also, offshore:

"...253 species of reef-building , 730 species of & 300 species of , and ."

How easily is a world made strange?
A morning cloaked in a veil of haar. Eerie refrains of sonorous foghorns. Cries from the non-human world — close by, yet source unseen. Ghost boats are anchored shadows and angles. Buildings — there but not quite present. The horizon is lost. The sky is an edge.
