Obviously SaltyDog has NEVER seen a CLOUD, floating by while he is out
sailing..... what are clouds made out of??? wait for it.....
Water Vapor.


The thing that makes clouds visible is droplets of liquid water. The
air is pretty much saturated with water vapor, of course. Usually
clouds rise because they are warmer. That means less dense. The water
vapor is in fact less dense, but the temperature effect is much
larger.
