Crosswinds on the harbor job were rough, but a simple spotter signal we tried cut the risk big time.

Honestly, that's a seriously smart move. Having a dedicated person just watching the wind takes so much guesswork out of it. We started using a clear hand signal for "gust coming" so the crane op gets a few seconds of warning to brace. Tbh, it also forces the spotter to really focus on the conditions instead of everything else. Makes the whole lift feel way more controlled when you know someone has eyes on just that one danger.
