Well South Texas has finally gotten its perfect paddling weather.

Air Temp 91 degF -  For comfort you have to get out in that "cool" sunrise air when its 82-85 degF.
Heat Index 105 degF -  Depleted batteries on pump just getting the sweat out of the cockpit.  "Sauna! Sauna!.  We don't need no stinking sauna". 
Water Temp 82 degF  -  Great opportunity to practice the rarely used "rotorary warming" techniques
Winds 25 mph stead  gusts 33 mph -  Think gentle cooling breezes coming out of the blast furnace.

I love South Texas (especially Oct to April) but I am starting to dream about Georgian Bay a little early this year.
