Sunset Sail

The water has been extremely busy the past few weeks with the major rental spot, Club Ventos, renting to over 130 people. The best time of day is either super early when the wind is just coming up, or later once everyone is tired. The problem with going out before the crowd is that there isn't much wind, and once it finally builds to a good level the water becomes extremely busy almost instantly. The other way to get non-choppy water is to sail until you can't sail any more. The crowds thin out at 5:00 because all the Vela customers have to go in then, and most of the other sailors are too tired to remain on the water. Its fun to try to ride a few waves and not worry about crashing into a dozen people along the way. The only problem is the sun sets at 5:30 and it's completely dark by six. But I've always been partial to sunset sails, I like sailing in on the last puff of wind.

Caitlyn's Version of How the Jeri Wind Works: The south east trade winds provide the base of the wind, averaging at 6-7 knots. When the large sandy dunes heat up during the day it causes a regular thermal effect, but because the trade winds are already blowing from the south east it increases the pressure and strength behind those winds. The combo of thermal and trade winds results in the strong winds blowing through Jeri!
