Weather & 2/3

Sun June 28 @22:07

Very often, perhaps always, when it is cloudy, the only bright spot visible also happens to be right where Snookums is heading. 

Coby saw cirrus hooks - mare's tails beginning to be blown apart.  These are the wispy, very high clouds. When they are not in the same direction as the surface winds, it means something is in opposition.  Indicates cross winds in the jet stream, activity that can mean storms. Sailors sometimes call cirrus clouds serious clouds, harbingers of bad weather. 

He readied the storm jib and the trysails. He prepared a hot beverage to keep in the thermos, and at a good hot meal. Everything is already battened down, due to the continued turbulence. 

The weather blew elsewhere. It did feel good to be ready.
