Response: Can you REALLY OUTRUN the Weather?!?!
I’m full in the haters camp of people who say “you can outrun the weather”. A particularly large sailing YouTube influencer has stated on his channel multiple times about being able and capable of outrunning the weather. It’s unmitigated craziness.…

Update 1: Hurricane Ian (2022 Sept 29, 1000)
