NEVER LEAVE YOUR KAYAK. I guarantee you will wear yourself out in minutes trying to tow it and you are much safer on it getting blown out to see than you are jumping in the water when it is in the 50's.
Then again use some common sense and choose your days wisely and don't over estimate your abilities.

I second what Jim said. Jumping in the water in, though it's not freezing out, will still cause major problems.

I had the day off from work due to Pinkeye and thought about going out, that thought lasted about 2 minutes and then I remembered what the weather was suppose to be like.

BE SMART people never paddle out if you don't feel that it's safe to do so.
