May 24, 2012 - Windy


































I love the wind.  Well, I love the wind to a certain extent.   My boating friend
doesn't though in terms of being on the water.  High level winds make being
on the water less fun than moderate amounts of wind.  Now that I've gone
out on his boat a couple times I can understand this even though I don't
have anything to compare it to since I've not really been out on a summery
wind-free day. He swears there are days when the water is flat and glassy
but since I've never experienced that, it's difficult to imagine water with
little motion.  I just like being out on the water although admittedly the
wind does make it colder.  It's  kind of like when I lived in NYC one
winter and dealt with the concept of windchill which was something
I'd never fully experienced until living there. I can only say one thing
about that: BRRRRR.  Palm trees are a great indicator of wind because
they're tall, they're everywhere and you can tell how windy it is by their
sway and how their palm fronds are behaving.
