How we read it

The yard anemometer over-reads in southerlies; everyone on the coast knows and nobody has fixed it. A "good flying" verdict means anything from 8 to 16 mph from the southwest, which is the direction the point faces and the wind it was built around. Anything Force 7 or above closes the shop and opens the flying.
