Default Sea Trial

You really have to stop using the airport weather from 10 miles away
when you make up stories. There's a good weather station just a
couple of miles from your slip that says the wind was 10 knots, gusts
to 14, diminishing all afternoon.

So I guess that's what you mean by "good breeze".
