Hey yellowhulls, did you forget about me? I'm not too far from you. I was also wanting to go sailing today, Friday Oct 23, temps outside now are 46F, I already have a 3mm wetsuit and booties (which I kept from my surfing days), but even that is not enough to inspire me. The sun is trying to make it out from behind the clouds, not too successfully, wind chill factor is keeping temps to around 42F. Thomas Hill Lake is used by a power plant which recycles the water after use keeping the water warm even in winter. I'm just going to have to get motivated, maybe

Finally, another cat sailor on the boards here near me!!!
Forgive me Robert. Columbia, MO is close in the whole scheme of things.
Yeah, right now here the weather couldn't be much worse, lots of rain and 47F. Friday the forecast is cold and more rain π but I will still try to brave it. Lake Springfield has a coal power plant and does the same thing with recycling water, too bad I sail about 1 mile from the plant, so the water on the main body of the lake is never heated by the plant.
I think we all might have to face the inevitable and de-rig and store the cats for the winter. :-O
