Although we all know that you should dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature, the water was mostly near 80°, the air temperature about 85°, with a mild southwesterly wind topping out at about 10 MPH.

The bright, sunny skies & mid 30’s temps were a big improvement over last year’s snowy, windy coldwater session; although the 48 ̊ water definitely marked the final day of wetsuit season for me! A pretty steady wind from the North kept drifting…
