Some Bad Wind Early

We had a choice, continue standing on the beach getting mobbed by mosquitoes, surf or go home dry. I was in favor of going home dry cuz of a lingering sinus infection. But I got shamed into paddling out. I must say that this is the warmest the water has been since I can remember. The wind died an hour in, so that was a plus. But it cam back with a vengeance at 8:30.
