Anybody planning to go out on Sunday? CC bay w/a high tide at 3ish will be good from 11 on. W/a good west wind, a tee time of 11:30 will be stressless sailing at Skaket due to the low water.
Last weekend was a hit. With a little luck Im gonna try again.

Im sailing but Im going to Deep Hole R.I. I have to pick up a sail & rig from a rep that lives near there. It sounds like a really good forecast all over! 2 good weekends in a row in December! scooper |

I went out at Pleasure Bay (Boston) for about a half hour. Even with my Dakine mitts, my fingers got numb. Next weekend Ill head to the Cape or RI. |

I sailed at Pt Judith from 12:30-4:00. During the last few hours my hands were a little numb and my feet were very numb. My hands warmed up right away when I stopped at sunset but my feet took a long time. I like the glacier gloves that i use for my hands but would like to find a better bootie liner for my
feet> great day !

I had a pair of Feet Heaters for 20 years. Tried several others untill a pair of ONeill 7mm round toes. Fell in love with them right off. Check the sizes as they run small.

Hey, thanks for the tip. I bought the best cold water booties I could find localy but the 7mm ONeill looks much warmer. I just ordered a pair online. scooper |
