We're getting along into late April and it's time to splash,
especially in the Chesapeake and farther south, but even the northeast
should be warming up by now. When I was racing sailboats on Long
Island Sound we would have already been out for practice at least once
by this time.

Let's hear some on the water reports from you guys.

We're in English Harbour, southern part of Antigua at the moment.
There are lots of exotic old sailboats here this week for the Classic
Boat Regatta, and next week the racing hot shots show up for Antigua
Sailing Week. Everything is good here except the weather - lots of
gusty winds and heavy rain squalls that come and go. The rain and
mist make it look a bit like Maine or the Pacific North Wet at times
but the temperatures are much more agreeable in the upper 70s and low
80s.
