Bob, if you had ever done any real cruising outside of your tiny
corner of LIS, you would know how stupid you sound.

First of all, even Laguardia did not register any nights "just below
100," there was one where the low was 86, and a few others at 80 to
83. However, that is the temperature on land. A major reason to
anchor out (or take a mooring) is to get away from the heat of the
land. In LIS, the surface water temp is about 75 degrees.

Burr, if you have 75- water you should have a cool breeze for sure. I
did see on the news that NYC creates it's own weather with all the
cement and asphalt, holding night time temps 15-20 degrees hotter than
it should be. Here if you get out on the bay as the sun sets you feel
the waves of hot land air and cool gulf air mixing. Like a blast of a
hair dryer followed by the feeling like someone opened a huge fridge
door. Hot cold hot cold...Make's for great mirages.
