Ha. 70 degrees for Saturday! (expecting fog). Bout 8 more weeks and we will be out there sailing in shorts! Here is a teaser from Jan. 14 at Cat Island:

Ahhhhh....

Sooo cold my internet connection froze up on me and I missed some of the fun in this thread!

Nice photo of Cat Isle, Loosey, you were fortunate to get out there this month. 25yrs is going to sail down one-way for a rendevous if the weather doesn't warm up, aren't you, 25? ;)

Just say no to Global Warming! Hey, I saw on the internet/news that Arctic Snowy Owls have been sighted in Boston, Florida, and even one smacked by a bus in our Great Nation's Capital this wintery winter...

I know it's little hard on yawl down there this winter
and I feel bad for yawl but secretly I can't help occasionally
finding myself reluctantly ever so slightly - bemused.

I think my pancreas have frozen up north here. While the Great Lakes offer some truly exceptional sailing, fresh water = easy on boats, the sub zero temps are really tough to take and the duration of the winters make our summers truly precious. Gotta say when you can only sail for about 6 months a year there is never any danger of taking it for granted.
