It’s only December.
Five more (long) months until sailing season again. 
Anyone sail during the winter? Let's see some photos.

Well, we don't have the snow. Its actually a beautiful sunny day here. I could sail if I wasn't a wimp, but I don't own a wetsuit and the water is fairly cold. At least our cold season isn't nearly as long as yours. In no more than 3 months I can be out sailing with just my swim trunks on. |

I'm am going sailing today. Ill take a few nice pics so no you can imagine your there. The high for today is 73 with winds at 10mph. San Diego is a nice place to have a sail boat or any boat any time of year. Poor me the low was 57 last night and I had to close the window. |

Just because you have snow dosen't mean you have a monopoly on the winter blues.   Temps in the mid to upper 70's but uncharacteristically, no wind. Well, there is wind but it comes up late in the day. |

What Dave Said, our closest lake is Frozen over and I am not driving 2 hours each way for a day sail. |

24 hours and 22 inches of snow later.....................  This just is't normal for South Jersey. This is a 100 year record for December snow here. We're in for a long winter. By the way, I cleared the snow off the cover 3 times during the length of the storm to prevent weight buildup and damage to the hulls. A good idea for anyone in the snow belt who can't store their boats inside. |

This isn't normal for Long Beach either. There are a few sailors here that look forward to the winter for it's Pacific storm value.

A nice DECEMBER sail. Temps were in the 70's and the wind really picked up around 3:30pm. Id say 13-17. But with wind like that I can't single hand the yacht and take pics, these were from earlier in the day when the wind was 5-10 mph.  <br> <br>  <br> <br>

Nice pics, J.D. Sailing in the middle of Dec. with just a t-shirt was a real treat. It was good seeing you out there yesterday. My wife and I should've stayed a little longer. The wind started to pick up after we brought our boat in. Still, no complaints here. Whale watching season on our Hobies starts in a few weeks. We'll see you aut there. Rich and Patty H16 #44868 |
