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. Mark J.

Come to Oregon, Mark. Embrace the mountain's glad tidings (still snowing), feel the valley chill (hail and rain), camp at the coast and be buffeted by storm-driven winds off the Pacific. We offer comic relief.

Nothing like an ice cream headache to cool your head. Bob > Come to Oregon, Mark.

Last Sunday, we launched about 9:00 AM and the air temperature was about 65 deg F and the water temp was up to 60 deg F. Only bad thing was that we had a red tide. Makes it look like you're paddling in blood.
