: Very timely post Robert. Our kayaking club was going on a New Years
: Day paddle, yes it's cold for that, have to dress for the
: weather, but the lake is very warm. Today I wake to hear the
: wind roaring in the trees, bad sign. Gusts to 35 mph, wind chill
: considerably under zero F, and a two hour drive with everything
: turned to ice, really bad idea, I'm not going. Now I gotta get
: the kayaks off the roof in a 35 mph wind with air temps in the
: teens. Was a very unseasonable 50 degrees yesterday when we put
: them on the roof of the car.

Interesting, as always, to hear what other yakkers are doing. I'd presume drysuits for both of you? And Robert N(ot going paddling with you!) Pruden - way out of my abilities/comfort zone. I only like polarbears from a great distance (about what I've got going now). If I got eaten while on a paddle, why, my wife would kill me!
Have a good one!
