39 degree air + 59 degree water + 7AM sunrise = damn beautiful + omfg cold

Update:
Regarding me being Minnesotan and being cold: mind you, my feet and body were warm (good boots and wetsuit), but my hands* and head were in and out of the water, thus were wet, and were in a constant 10 mph wind, causing more or less continuous evaporation. Wind-chill is one thing, wet wind-chill is yet another. Thanks to our friend chemistry, we know it takes more energy to evaporate salt water than regular water, resulting in more effective cooling of wet hands and head. Never mind the ocean spray, ...

When it gets to be 40-50 degrees, I encourage all of you mocking Minnesotans to sit in the passenger seat of a car while a friend drives around with the window down at 10mph, while you spray one hand with a spray bottle (tap water will be fine for this experiment), ensuring a more or less constant wetness, for an hour.

Alternatively, find a walk-in fridge, bring a fan and a spray bottle, and conduct the same experiment.

If you don't have a spray bottle, you can bring a bowl of water and dip your hand in and out every few seconds to simulate me paddling, with a 1-2 minute rest every 2 minutes (out of the water in the wind).

After doing either of these experiments, and not experiencing your hand being cold, please contact me then to call me a wimp. Until then, I stand by my claim that my hands and head were 'omfg cold', and will call all dissenting comments 'uninformed' ;) . Also, I know that at least two of the authors of comments are chemists, so should know how much energy it takes to evaporate water, and what that means to exposed flesh.

* I do have webbed gloves, but they offer zero protection against the elements thanks to the 1/2mm fabric, causing my hands to stay wet all the time.
