Reporting the wind direction had varying locations and as I traveled on the river you could see the wind shifts first hand.
In Utah we get predominant winds, lake winds, south winds, north winds, downslope winds, valley winds, upslope
winds, there is a rather broader scale to winds than we think when it actually becomes a factor you need to deal with like
with fires, or kayaking.
If you take a normal cooler you store food in, cut a hole in it to fit a fan on top, put a hole on the opposite side and fill
with Water you can make a camp cooler which really is a swamp cooler.

It’s just air moving over water to be a swamp cooler.
So too the Mississippi River as wide as it gets and as often as does curve back on itself is a natural “swamp cooler”
effect that the creation of levee’s and obstructions along the shores has enhanced conflicting weather modules.
The temperature in Louisiana Plaquemine one day was 82 and a short walk over the levee of about a hundred yards and
temperature had dropped 20 degrees and by the time leaving shoreline into fog it was down in the low 50’s with the
water temp in the 40’s.
The creates some highly unusual humidity, temperature, winds and water effects.
