Same here. It's always colder living by the water and almost never perfect. If it is, then I think there's something wrong. Last night my wife and I and one of our boys were driving back from a kayaking skills course (done in a large swimming pool) while it was literally raining slush. Sloppy, messy and windy. It can be enough to put anybody off. But the three of us had great time ! We've got a couple of smaller 13 footers and we needed to upgrade our skills for the bigger 17-18 foot sea kayaks so we can hit the open water and do some tripping. Doing something else that's fun can really make a difference.
If I were you I'd take up tsl's offer. A little company can really make a difference.
