But lately, the weather forecast has included "gale force winds." Overnight temperatures have been so cold, the marina turned off the water supply lines on the docks for fear of a damaging freeze-up.
When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.
We're in a small town, so the clothing store options are limited. But Port St. Joe does have an "outdoor outfitters" store . . . a retail category which sometimes means, "Your options in Gore-tex-coated polar fleece are limitless," and sometimes means, "Get your bikinis and novelty T-shirts here."
This store had a bit of both. If I were a duck hunter (and a guy) in need of full waterproof camo, I would have been golden. I liked the over-the-knee duck boots, and the full-body coverall in water repellent Desert Storm.
But guy's sizes don't work for me, alas. Now, if I were a society gal in need of packable glam beachwear and some jeweled flip flops, I would have have no problems stocking up.
But I needed warm, not flashy. Time to get creative.
By dint of tediously examining every single item in the store, I scored a Helly-Hansen UnderArmour hoodie, fleece inside, water repellent outside, boys size large.
I also found some thick leggings that fit nicely under my jeans.
OK, so the pattern on the leggings is a trendy gold and black zebra stripe. And true confessions, these badd-ass babies were intended to be worn with platform sandals and a flirty tunic top.
But they were 50 percent off. And they're VERY warm.
