Bow kites, here I come.
Same up this way, largely. I have traditionally thought of this time as the "May Calms." The wind would turn off in mid May and stay turned off until later June. The thermals would kick in closer to July.

This year, I am not so sure. It seems to be a better thermal wind year. Case in point, last night I wasn't expecting any wind and yet it turned on in Pompano and some guys were actually powered up there. I don't think it really turned on in Delray Beach. It seems to be localized at times.

I would try to find out if thermal winds turn on in your area, usually later in the day be try to divert over for some water time if possible. Rush seems to be doing pretty well in the Panhandle. Maybe we should go there!
