Old Town Herron 9, 1 hour and 21 minutes, 2 nautical miles

Rain all day, winds 18 to 20 mph gusting to 25 to 30 or more.  Winds from the NorthEast.  I bought a new rain coat and ventured out about 4:00 o'clock onto Thompson Creek.  There is a boat ramp up behind Food Lion on Route 50.  The boat ramp is off of Thompson Creek Road.  It was raining gently when I started and continued to rain the entire time I was on the water.  The rain coat with the hood worked pretty well.  The temperature was 52 degrees, but with the wind chill it felt like 46 degrees fahrenheit.  Hugged the lee shore of the creek and was able to pretty much stay out of the wind.
