I don't care what the thermometer says when its a Saturday morning and 20-30NW is in 9am the forecast you go and sail. Atleast you go and check it out, so thats what I did after an hour of wondering what the lake would be like with LCSM4 reading 25G31. My reward - the first hour solid 5M and I was the only one out. JB, Silver Fox, Tommy and Monz there to join in a bit later. I stayed on a 5.7 Expression and the 85 JP, which was more than enough up until the wind died at 2pm. Totally worth getting into the drysuit for 3 hours of sailing with the sun and the solid NW winds keeping me warm inside the whole time. My motto if the water's not frozen: "you're only cold when your schlogging".
