Default Wind!

Just wondering if I am alone in my thinking here. Being on the water, and located on a shore that takes the brunt of prevailing winds, I may be more sensitive to this than most.

My family has often heard me say that, all other things being equal, I would much prefer a cloudy, calm day to a windy, sunny one, any day.

Today is a good example. For days now, the weather forecasters have been touting how wonderful the weather will be on Father's Day. All the forecasts I looked at showed winds in the 3-7 MPH range.

I now sit here watching my boat pounding in the waves, whitecaps on the water, and coffee blowing out of my cup if I try to have a morning sit at the dock.

I wish the forecasters would spend a bit more time getting the wind plans correct, though I know that if you go a few miles off the water, it's almost unnoticeable.
