hurricane Irene fringe benefits

Hurricane Irene was trouble for the east coast, but at least it generated a little wind inland.  A cold Sunday afternoon with NNE winds so I chose Grandview road to get the best fetch.  Sailed 5.2 & 4.2 on the 85L quatro.  Sailed in a shorty for a couple of hours with a long sleeve rash guard underneath but eventually I got pretty cold.  The water was really choppy with some mini ramps here and there and it was also a lot warmer than the air.
