Or maybe one end of your island is sinking !!

Actually wind direction will make a difference. The GZ does take notice of a headwind or tailwind. Lynda was quite happy to see fields of wind generators on the prairies until I pointed out that we would be lucky if we didn't hit a constant headwind to slow us down. She used 4th gear a lot to maintain 50 mph.
