We’ll always have prevailing winds, as long as there’s weather. Of course they may not remain the same “trades” we’ve known ...

On the brighter side, the NorthWest Passage is opening up, and as the sea level rises there'll be more draft. And plenty of mooring in what used to be coastal cities. "Venice"s all over.
