Who needs nice weather to go sailing? I went last weekend in Ohio. 26 degrees, wind at 20 and 41 degree water temp. Nice weather is for pansies, actually we would have preferred something a little less brisk. The only problems were, the cams were useless and after about 30 minutes going at it the spray froze the sheets up and I had to let the main out by pushing it out with my foot. That was fun for about ten more minutes and we came in. We got a few "you guys are nuts" from the club and the fire department.

Yea I still have one of our 80's trophies. It was a racket ball cut in half and glued to a piece of plastic.

"BLUE BALLS Regatta"

Sailors will do anything for a sail.

I recall the videos of that Sweedish guy; sailing in hailstorms, melting the ice off his boat so he can go out, etc etc. Nuts.

Weather update - tomorrow it is supposed to be 83°F and 17mph of wind. Thursday is more of the same. Friday will be in the 50s and raining.

Just to rub it in a tad more, today it's 83°F and tomorrow it's supposed to be 90°F. I plan to knock off work a touch early and go both days.

The air temperature here was 78 yesterday, but the water temp. is 38 degrees

That's 34 degrees below the 150 degree rule (if water plus air is below 150 use a wetsuit). Think we'll wait until the water reaches 50.

Hey you guys down South have fun , and keep pushing that warm air our way.

I've never heard of the 150 rule. It doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'm guessing the water is about 40°F right now, but I really have no idea. That'd make for 130° or so. Dunno. Should be okay. Didn't wind up going yesterday but I HAVE BIG PLANS FOR TODAY BABY.

The Corps of Engineer's lakes have daily info like this

If not sailing a Corps lake find one close to get info.

Well today was fun until we got 2 miles up the lake and the wind died. We paddled for quite a while until a bass boat came by and towed us the last few hundred yards.
