    getting away from it all

    "...Sailors have known for years to look specifically at the patterns and persistence of jet contrails for weather forcasting. If a jet is flying through air at an altitude with low humidity, the moist air from the jet engine might produce a slight, short-lived contrail. These short-lived contrails are a sign that the weather will be fair. A thick, long-lasting contrail indicates humid air high in the atmosphere, and can be an early sign of a storm.

    "From SAIL Magazine's Sailing Tip of the Week:
    Indicator: Skies
    Continuing Good Weather: Clear, light blue to dark blue. Bright moon. Jet contrail disappear immediately or doesn't form.
    Possible Change: Large halo circling moon or sun. Jet contrail lingers thickly befor falling apart."
