IMG_8252I hadn't been in the water in 90 days.   That's probably a record for me in the last decade.  Way too long!   But Christian pinged me on Friday about the possibility of a Saturday paddle, and I said Count Me In.   Then a breeze came up and SUP became SUPSailing, with Mr. Charles and Joe Natalie, at Dolphin Road.   Thigh high with the occasional legit three footers, we had a fine time.  38 degrees but sunny.   Using the Long Island Rule of 100:

Air temp + Water temp + Wind speed + weeks since last session + 5 if it's sunny yielded

38 +38 +9 +12 +5 = 102.   I was fine!

    Almost windy enough for a foil!
    Mad respect. When we get 38 air and 43 water, I’m whining like a toddler and running off to Florida for a long weekend. Spring is almost here. Glad you guys/gals are back on the water.
