Row Safe: Assess The Conditions

Before every row, use whatever tools you have to know the predicted weather and plan for it. While on the water, everyone should be attentive to changing conditions. 

Did the winds shift direction? 

Is visibility decreasing? 

Do you feel the pressure change that comes before a storm? 

Does someone have a phone with weather apps set to alert for lightning or other weather conditions? 

Weather apps and handheld sensors are excellent tools for this, but paying attention to changes in the sky and water conditions can make your row safe this time of year.
