It all depends on breeze. If you on anchor, it's ok. If you are tied up
at the dock, especially in Aug and Sep, then it's tough, but then you
have shore power.


We've rarely wanted more than wind scoops at night. During the day, a
quick swim does the trick...

It's so sad to see folks in an anchorage on even moderate days, all
buttoned up with the generator running to keep the a/c going. Doubt
they even look out the windows, yet they're "out on the water".
