LOL, unless the wind is howling, I think 40F can be comfortable.
Meanwhile, 85F would probably be driving me indoors, although being in/near
water might change that.

Funny how that works.  I know the last few days of "Spring" here, after it
has been cold and before it gets hot, feel warmer than the first few days
of "Autumn," when it first starts to cool off again.  Psychology I guess. ;)
