Ahh, 52F water temp. Delightful. Water temps are still in the low to mid
70's hereabouts.



Water was 27.8c in the river on the 9th when I did the state water
sample. (about 82f)
Salinity was 1.4 PPT. I thought my hydrometer was going to sink ;-)


Sounds better than 52 degrees. Hypothermia is not delightful. :-)


I live in an area where the ocean is always 48-55 degrees year round. Wet
suit for kayaking. Lakes are warm. Going to Clear Lake next week. Will
still be warm. Supposed to have first rain of the season Saturday.
