Blowing in the Wind Sanibel Style 1/17/2016

After stormy weather during the week Sunday brought serious wind to the area. The morning saw (my guess) steady winds in the high 20's and gusts in the 40's. By early afternoon it died down enough a few brave folks got into the water. I had to shelter the camera and lens behind a car to get it steady enough, and even then quite a few shots were ruined by a sudden gust jerking it sideways. Salt spray was a real issue on the lens, and cold (and I am almost NEVER cold) began to wear on me until I called it quits mid-afternoon. Here are some shots from the day.
