That's more like it, HT weather.

All of that summer like balminess was getting oppressive and we were
losing our motivation for heading south. When we pulled into
Herrington South last night and saw those palm trees it was like a
halucination.

Two years ago we went south from St Michaels to Solomons in a 35 kt
nor'wester. There wasn't a boat under 30 ft anywhere to be seen and
even the sailboats were cowering a bit.
