Just because you asked so nicely I decided to brave the conditions so you would have something to read.

The day started with car battery removal and replacement after being temporarily stranded at the marina following yesterday's paddle.  Although it was getting later in the day, your plea had touched me and I decided I just had to go and paddle.

The air temp was in the mid 70's and the water temp was in the low 60's and the wind was right around 10 mph.
I paddled from the marina boat launch out through the breakwater entrance and then south over to the Emerald Beach Hotel and then returned in about 1hr.  I then paddled north inside the breakwater over to the Texas State Aquarium and finished the day with some short laps in the south end of the marina.  No dolphins today, but it was still a very nice paddle.

You can see the pics with descriptions at http://picasaweb.google.com/mjamja1/DecDowntown

I am heading out Thursday to see if I can get you some dolphin videos to watch.
