Yeah, I know Katy,

It just that we aren't use to it!

Every once in awhile ole Mother Nature hangs one on us. Five days below
freezing is some thing we aren't ready for.
We leave our boats in the water year 'round. I'm usually out sailing
until the the second or third week in Jan. Then I put the cover on the
boat until the third or fourth week in Feb. The boating season starts
with the "Ides of March" Regatta. There is a "Frost Bite" seris of three
race in Feb.

My winter sailing dress is a Peter Storm sweater and skii cap

As I said, the last winter to match this one was 1996. That was the
winter my wife died. My mind wasn't to concerned with sailing then

But, you're right. I'm turning into a whiner in my old age. Forgive me?

"I'LL DRINK TO THAT!"
