Hi Doug,
I love it! And here I was all worried about ice during this years 1st Annual Adventure Island Polar Bear Sail. Guess I didn't have to be so concerned after all. So, care to join us for the 2nd Annual Adventure Island Polar Bear Sail? It's going to be an annual event, sailing out of Annapolis, MD on New Years Day. Only two of us launched this year, but I'm hoping for better participation next year. Here's a link to the thread on this years outing.

I hope you were appropriately dressed for the occasion. Drysuits are pretty much a necessity for winter kayaking. I noticed that the guy in the video was rather lightly dressed. Hard enough to stay dry in an AI when it's warm. Wouldn't want to get wet when it's cold enough to ice things over like that.
Warm weather is just around the corner here, so soon we'll be sailing comfortably again.
Happy sailing,
- Jim L
