[Rhodes22-list] Enough Already!

[Mark Skapinker]

I don't mind the cold wind or some ice on the hull. It's just that the
lake water is still so cold that the bite of the wind is what is so
awful. Fall in the water in Lake Ontario at this time of year, and you
have just minutes to survive - that is why I carry communication
equipment and wear a Mustang inflatable life jacket when I am out alone.


SC sounds great - I grew up in South Africa which has similar weather to
SC. Just the other months of the year. Don't ask why I am in Canada. I
ask every winter...

Mark,
Here in SC we sailed all winter long. Of course, the lakes don't freeze,
but I've gotten to the boat only to find frost and some ice on the hull.
It warms up nicely by mid day, but a good hot pot of coffee goes a long
ways until the sun warms things up.
The IMF main grunts and groans a few times coming out and the genny
likes  to stay curled up until the sun warms it, but it is all worth it.
There are few recreational boaters out on those days, mostly fisherman
and their numbers are  few.
 
Rummy
