Fall arrives today at 8:05 pm ET! 🍂 Today’s Fall Equinox marks the start of astronomical fall in the Northern Hemisphere and is the moment when the Sun is directly over Earth’s equator. From now through the Winter Solstice on December 21, the Northern Hemisphere will receive increasingly less direct sunlight as Earth continues along its tilted orbit around the Sun.

🌊Mariners, check moorings for incoming windy conditions. With the first strong fall storm expected Wednesday, check that moorings of vessels will be sufficient to handle winds up to gale force. Vessels can become loose and break free from lines and knots in strong winds. #WAwx
