We had a cold front move through here this weekend, so I had to bundle up and put socks on.

.......... and your cold weather sailing is probably warmer than a hot day around here :cry: .

At least we don't have to worry about air conditioning in the summer ;).

But (as a veteran of both places), I can tell you that the fishing in either location is outstanding!

Can't say that I'm a veteran of B.C., other than an Alaskan cruise out of Vancouver for our 25th anniversary a while back, but Florida's weather is GREAT...except those pesky lightning storms ( I lived in Orlando many a' year ago, and it MUST be the lightning capitol of the US.) ... and, oh, don't forget the occasional HURRICANE !! ;-(

I'll stay with southern New England and Long Island Sound .. for now.

Hey, Inarathree, would you be willing to sell me that cooler lid that you have your feet on? :) Or at least give me the measurements and some pix to see if the local fiberglass place can replicate it. Mine's been missing since day 1 of purchase, and the PO didn't know what happened to it....

I use to sail at night on Smith Mt. Lake at night during all seasons. Once in a snow storm, out of all things was a blue light special. The game warden asked what I was doing until he recognized me. I asked him likewise in a snow storm. We both agreed we were nuts but I added the snow billowing against the sails was a beautiful sight with the deck light on the mast that was on. He asked how I navigated and I told him I knew the lake too well and the lights. It seemed we were the only boats on the lake at 2:30 a.m... Since I had a thermos of coffee, I invited the two wardens over for a coffee break and suggested that they should go in since they were freezing. I made friends for life with one of those rascals.
