I was down at the marina last night about to go out for an evening sail when a bloke in the all white french make fishing boat next to me asked-"Excuse me, do you know what direction the wind is coming form" to which I duly replied with a direction. He then asked " is it rough out there?" He was just preparing to go out for an overnight fishing trip on his own.
The anwers to both his questions were both there for observation- ie look over the wall of the marina and also see where the wind is coming from and look at a compass. Alterntively, listen to the inshore waters forecast.
I tend to assume most people prepare to some extent and have a bit of knowledge- then I get hit with this sort of thing.
Any other stories of blinding lack of nonce?
