It's on the lake... nothing to do with the bay. Typically, it picks up very
late in the afternoon, so if you really get stranded, you just have to wait.
It's actually called the delta breeze. In the morning it goes in one
direction, then switches 180 late in the day.

In the bay, it's a different story. Typically, light air in the morning,
then as the inland valley heats up, the wind machine kicks in. It can easily
go from 5 kts to 35 kts in a matter of a 1/2 hour.

Man....when the water is that flat here we do not bother. Being a 100
degrees with no breeze makes crappy sailing.

Do you get a regular sea breeze near or after sunset?
Where is that?
