Cool. I think the Bay is colder until the snow runnoff is gone. I hear
the tug pilots are adding a knot or so to account for the heavy runoff
and there was little warming so far this yr since I saw snow on the
peaks when I last sailed...
Monterey Bay is normally 48 to low 50's and is now high 50's due to El
Nino (I'm diving there tomorrow and just got the temp last night as 56
or 57)
