    The classes continue and the weather is holding beautifully.  We've had a couple days where we were blown off the water.  One morning the wind was not too bad, but coupled with an overnight temp in the 40's it was no fun.  However the students hung in there.  Two of them are Puerto Ricans and did not agree with fishing in the cold, but humored me any way.   I did not press too hard, I don't want anyone to not enjoy this.  It takes a bit of time to get to the point where one sees nothing wrong with fishing while your hands are numb, your lips blue and the wind is whipping the water into whitecaps.  And that is only fun when the fish are hitting.................
