Windsurfer Enjoying the Wind Chill off of Compo
Wilton resident Vin Marshall tests out a new sail as he windsurfs off of Compo Beach this afternoon. The air temperature was about 40 degrees with water temperatures around 50 degrees, but the 15-20 MPH wind gusts created a wind chill of nearly 32 degrees. It was that very wind that drew him to the beach with his board, sail, and wetsuit today. When asked if he was cold upon his landing on the beach, Marshall responded with “the suit keeps me warm, but my hands really take a beating.”
