I'm in a tee shirt, shorts (in the summer) and a long bill cap.
Not going out anytime soon while the "atmospheric river" continues in.

When my father was in the Navy he called his destroyer a Boat.

I was surprised to learn this a few years ago. I had a 28' Duckworth fishing boat and thought I wasn't a small craft anymore.
"There's no exact legal definition of a small craft; however, small craft advisories are generally intended for vessels less than 65 feet in length OR for any vessel likely to be adversely impacted by the weather conditions expected with a Small Craft Advisory.
Similar to the exact definition of a small craft, small craft advisories vary from location to location. Generally, they are posted when winds are expected to range from 28 to 38 mph or waves of 5 to 7'. However, the wind range may drop as low as 24 mph for harbors or bays, and waves as low as 4'. There are other local variations which forecasters take into effect."
