Well, DP isn't LJ.

Was on the water at 5:40, perfectly calm (before the storm).

Around 10 am, SE winds picked up. Decided to avoid some stiff wind by sticking closer to the shore. Had no problems with bait, plenty of it.

Started to drizzle a bit, so I made my way into the harbor. The wind was stiff, plenty of chop. For the first time, was thinking I may now be in over my head. I was getting a bit worried, as my strokes seemed to do little against the current and wind. Was thinking to myself, was this effort to paddle in worth the morning of fishing? Of course the answer was yes.
