So, when do you guys in the SF Bay area consider the boating season to be
"over"?
Or do you?

The problem with SF is that you can't tell the difference between
winter and summer, as in the old joke about spending a winter in San
Francisco one August.


Summer and winter are drastically different on SF Bay. The sailors love
summer as we get much more wind on the bay then plus lots more fog. The 50
degree offshore water and the 100 degree inland valley supplies the raw
energy for the wind farms between the two. Winter is mild, maybe 3 months
of rain, about 22" total, and the hills are green. Actually one of the nice
times to visit the north part of the state. And Dungeness crab season runs
from Nov. 11 to end of June.
