| When rain comes before the
wind |
| Halyards, sheets and braces
mind, |
| But when wind comes before
rain, |
| Soon you can make sail
again. | |
| Long foretold, long
last |
| Short notice, soon
past, |
| Quick rise after low, |
| Sure sign of stronger
blow. | |
| If clouds are gathering thick and
fast, |
| Keep sharp look out for sail and
mast, |
| But if they slowly onward
crawl, |
| Shoot your lines, nets and
trawl |
|
