Rog, maybe two months back ya kindly invited me on one of yer awesome offshore trips 😎 A major reason for me not taking you up on was I cannot abide the summer sun off of open water, didn’t want to sound ungrateful at the time.

There’s a reason why vaqueros were all about big hats and long sleeves, and they was Mexican on both sides.

Those face gaiters sound like a plan. Roy’s has Buffs in stock too. That Korean lady who runs the Army/Navy Store in Arkansas Pass always has a bunch of good straw hats, that’s where I got the one I used on the bike trip last summer.
