..........this: Temp in the upper 80's........flat
Lake.................water temp at 74 (not bath water)....

That is winter here brrr

We had another great day on/in the water today. The water temp was
perfect as was the air temp. The boat ran flawlessly.

My wife and I swam in bath water temps in the Gulf, Atlantic and
Pacific...........not refreshing and not the way we like it. We also
do
not have critters in the water that will sting, bite or eat you. ;-)

Our swimming hole (normally a quiet beach) was pretty busy today and
we
met some interesting characters.

Another great day!

Also do not have surf for nice boarding, or tuna for catching.

Not true............there are days where the lake is so rough folks
surf on it. As far as tuna...you win. However we have our yellow
perch, walleye and bass.

BTW: I have to admit that blue water fishing is fun. I attended an
conference in Miami several years back and 4 of us from the conference
chartered a fishing boat. Ocean fish are definitely stronger pound
for pound than lake fish. We had a nice catch and were able to eat
our catch at the restaurant behind the marina.

I also love the San Francisco area and understand why you love living
and boatng there.

I was born here. Parents and brother are from Western Nebraska. Mom tells
about -42 degrees. That would suck. Spent a year in Dayton, OH. Going to
a company school. Highest point in the state 1504'. No great skiing, large
shallow lakes. Snow in the winter. All big negatives. If I want snow, I
drive 3 hours to the ski resort, and then come home to no snow. We did
have
snow here in 1979. 2" maybe.


Wow. I guess you live in paradise.

Except for the politicians!
