I first noticed it earlier this week while sitting out on the condo balcony before dawn - as is my habit - drinking coffee and brushing our cat Chef. The air was noticeably cooler. A breeze stirred the leaves and the palm fronds below. Later in the morning while running along the Bay front, even with the sun up the air was cooler. Running easier. At noontime walking across the campus of USF to meet Cathy for lunch at the Cafe next to her office, the sunshine was pleasantly warm. Not scorching as I've come to expect.
It wasn't the weather of just that one day. Every day of the week since has been like that.
Last night walking home from dinner at Fresco's, the dockside restaurant next to the City Marina, there was an east wind that brought the Trade Winds of the Virgin Islands to mind. Steady. Pleasantly cooling. Rustling sounds of palm fronds in the wind.
I think the worst of the summer heat has passed. There are two hurricanes out in the Atlantic, but here I have a sense that hurricane season is drawing to and end. Good sailing winds and pleasant temperatures will prevail.
