[Rhodes22-list] Lake Superior Cruise Weather Planning

[Lee]

Hey Jesse,

As the Scandinavians say, there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad
clothing.

Can't add much to Roger's advice to keep your extremities warm, especially
balaclavas.  Fingers, toes, and ears are the first to suffer on me.  I swear
by a good pair of ski mittens.  If you have to take them off  for a moment
to tie a knot or pick your nose your hands  will still stay warmer than with
gloves.  Ear muffs are good but I haven't found a pair that's real
comfortable.  I like neck gators--easy to pull on and off your face as
needed.

After reading how fast hypothermia happens in cold water, a tether might be
the first thing on my list.
