NewLexican 9 Posted January 16, 2019 I'd like methods of determining wind direction without having to set foot on the deck of a ship. Windsocks and weather vanes at Freeports. Something like the old wet finger or drop-some-dirt method elsewhere. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, never thought of looking at a claim flag, but wind direction never really stops me from going where I want. I have noticed the wave direction seems to match the wind direction. I've heard the wind direction slowly changes in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction at a fairly constant rate. Any input on that? I had assumed it to be random, but don't sail more than 1/2 hour usually, so haven't noticed how it changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherlight 0 Posted February 27, 2019 PotBS had something like that, where it would constantly change over time. Haven't seen that yet myself. Wasn't looking for it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
