That’s not fair,...you are warmer than we are....
Current temp is 63 with 18 mph winds.
Last evening, I was getting our outside grill ready to grill dinner. The temp on the back deck said 48. The wind was 18-25 mph, and I got chilled in the 15 minutes I was out in the wind.
My kayaks and fishing gear have been ready to go out on, for a couple of weeks.
With the kayaks, going into a 20 mph head wind, the math gets grim. Even with our Hobie tandem pedal Kayak, our top speed is about 6-7 mph. So if the wind is blowing against you and your home destination more than 8 mph, you could be losing ground inspite of pedaling, tacking and paddling as hard we can. Throw in a tide going the opposite direction, you are headed, and the math gets even worse.
