Best Answer

In nautical terms, the words have the following meanings: Weather - to pass to windward a point of land; the Lizard - a Cornwall Peninsula.

Therefore, weather the Lizard would be to make sail from either Plymouth or Portsmouth and pass by the Lizard (point) with the land on the Larboard (starboard) side of the ship.
