Very true statement.
We see it all the time when we fish. I have regularly seen the wind outta the west @ 10 knots around picnic, only to cross over to St. Pete @ Weedon Island to see a localized East Seabreeze blowing E @ 5 knots. I've also seen W15k at Egmont key, taken the 5 mi ride to skyway and seen it blowing E 10k only a few minutes later. As the summer approaches you see a lot more of it, and there will usually be a cloud line that builds along the boundary. Obviously as the summer heats up those lines explode into the storms we all know and love.
