What is this "winter" boating you speak of?
Is it this:

Ok, that I agree is neat. Back in the day, I used to have a DN that I
sailed at Webster Lake. It's a lot of fun.

or maybe this:

That's more my concept of "winter" boating. :)


My concept of winter boating where I grew up was the New York Boat Show.
About all we did with "outside water" was ice skate on it, from November
to March.


Or that. :)

Although I never got the hang of ice skating for some reason. I could
"skate" as in go in one direction, but it was a wobbly kind of thing -
just could never quite get it.

Same with snow skiing - never could quite get the hang of it. Just
not coordinated enough I guess. I do wish they had had snow boards in
my day - I think I could have handled that fine.


Let's see. You hate cold. You don't snow ski nor ice skate. What to
hell are you doing in the equivalent of Siberia???
