This was the much talked about 90 degree day everyone was looking forward to. We've had more rain than usual, so a sneak peek at Summer was going to be a treat. Surprisingly, the temperature out on the water was about 20 degrees cooler. Combined with the very cool breeze and the cloud cover, it was actually quite chilly! But being the good sports that we are, it was still a fun day. We enjoyed the beauty around us, raced a few seagulls, learned from some well meaning fellow boaters about the dangers of cold water with strong undercurrants, and even spotted a cute little porpoise nearby us in the water.
