I would love to try an ice boat. That would be one heck of a mast and sail for one!Embrace the snow. Build yourself an ice sled that uses the same mast and sails.
While technically there is winter in all parts of the world, I believe Florida isn't one of them.Winterized in florida for the holidays
So the forecast isn't wrong ? I thought Environment Canada were simply joking when they said it was supposed to be -7 by tomorrow am. Wind from that temp change, hasn't picked up yet, but I'm hoping it's ASAP.We were thinking of going to the lake today. It's +1 out there right now. Freakin heat wave!
Hey, we have frozen water here in Fl. We put it in our drinks.In fact, if your water doesn't freeze, IMO it's not winter.
+1C????? LOL love thisWe were thinking of going to the lake today. It's +1 out there right now. Freakin heat wave!
I used to live in California. Every year about this time, some dudes would make jokes about it being warm enough to sail while others were lamenting their withdrawal syndrome.Hey, we have frozen water here in Fl. We put it in our drinks.
That was just funny!!!! Sadly, I think they do the same thing down here too in regards to snowfall :-( They keep dangling the carrot in front of me saying were going to get snow then take it away at the last minute when it turns to freezing rain and sleet! Hard to ski on ice although I give it a good try!+1C????? LOL love this
One man's storm is another man's heaven. I will take all the snow that no one else wants. Just ship it to southern Indiana and I will gladly take it off your hands!I used to live in California.

I always felt it was rude to do so, and sometimes called them out on it, but for years have kept my thoughts to myself.
Last summer we sailed our boat up from SF to Vancouver Island. Since arriving, we have had the worst weather in recorded history: more rain in Oct. and Nov., early snow and well below average temps in Dec.
I haven't been able to use the boat except for three single overnights since we got here in mid Sept. At least it's still in the water, but below freezing temperatures don't equate to use or even maintenance.
I understand, and am very glad I didn't ever publicly revel in my good fortune.
It is not appropriate to gloat and I feel very sorry for those who have to put their boats up for months at a time.
