Actually it's days like today where we get our problems. The air
temperature is forecasted for the high 90's inland and 80's on the
coast, but the water temperature is still about 55 deg. A lot of
beginners will be out on the water in cotton "T" shirts and shorts and
not wearing a PFD.

I'll still pass on paddling in the snowflakes--I've been out here for 27
years now and I don't miss the cold at all. ;-)
