Ya, that makes more sense. However if you stuck in a situation like this again bring a couple (clean) socks with you to put over the mic. I'm too cheap to buy proper windsocks and popscreens so that's what I do to keep down sibilance and plosives. Try one sock at first and if it's not enough toss the other one on. I've also been trying to use two mics at once. One with a sock right up in my face and another one a few inches further away with no sock. That way if I get a really bad plosive I can edit it out and use the second mic track to cover make up for it.
Yes... I'm weird... but I gitterdun. ;-)
