A weather vane is a fun decorative way to keep track of changes in wind direction. It also adds an air of old fashioned charm to any building or fence post. Choosing the right style of weather vane can tie your landscaping design together into a cohesive and beautiful piece of art. Myriad of Whimsical Designs Weather vanes can be strictly practical or incredibly whimsical. Figures that are built into weather vanes range from farmyard animals to large sailing ships. Some weather vanes celebrate specific sports, like baseball or football. Some weather vanes are created strictly as works of art. The best way to choose a weather vane for your home is to find one that you can’t resist. It should reflect your personal style and interests. There is no reason to settle for a strictly utilitarian weather vane when there are so many different shapes and styles available. Practical Purpose Of course, the main purpose of a weather vane is to tell you at a glance which direction the wind is blowing from. Changes in wind direction can indicate stormy weather or significant shifts in the prevalent weather pattern. Farmers have used weather vanes for centuries to plan their farming activities based on weather changes. Weather vanes are also good indications of the absence of wind, which can mean that a sever thunderstorm may have developed tornadic tendencies. If you like to keep track of weather changes by observing the elements, a weather vane is a beautiful and practical tool. Online Purchase Options Finding the right weather vane may take some extra time and research. The best way to start is by shopping around online. You will find hundreds of designs made from hundreds of different materials. Auction sites will give you some insight into popular and collectible weather vanes. If you don’t find the right kind of weather vane online, you may want to visit local antique shops or art and craft stores. Antique weather vanes are extremely collectible and can have wonderful personality about them. Local stores will probably offer better prices for their weather vanes than many online options, especially if you are not looking for a collectible.

Sir Francis Drake was a Ship Captain from England. He Journied the World and back on Ships. In his journal he listed where he had been and where he was going. He also listed maps and drawings of the sea.
The weather was the main cause for the failure of the Spanish Armada, but if there had been no English ships the Armada could have just waited until the weather improved and then invaded England. It was a combination of weather, English ships and poor leadership that made the Armada fail.
Absolutely, changing course to avoid bad weather is a daily practice.
Willem Van De Velde (the elder and younger) both paint ships at sea, some in storms.
