I was pretty uncomfortable with the umbrella and a towel wrapped around my neck and the umbrella pole. Trying to figure out how to shoot photos with two hands and keep the camera dry. It worked pretty well until it really started pouring.
This was the only spot out of the rain. The pier further out is wood planks with space between them so the water drips down on you. It helps a little. I took a little break here to try and relax.
