Only thing I see is the long long fetch and shallow areas that would
produce some really scary waves....

Indeed.

plus the fact that it's always so
frickin cold!

It certainly is when the possibility of really big waves is at hand.
Mostly
between November and March. Summer can be hot, sultry, and absolutely
calm.
We once crossed Lake Michigan during the summer "doldrums." I phoned my
father from what was as close to the exact center of the lake as possible,
and told him that I typically see bigger waves in my bathtub. It was dead
flat, hazy, and the damn black flies were biting everything in sight,
including our poor pup. Miserable. And hard to believe that at that very
place some waves of more than 50' have existed and probably will again.

Ahhh, I'll take ocean sailing, and the almost constant warm breezes
around here...thanks :-)

So will I. There's a lot of rhetoric around here about how great fresh
water is and all that. I'll take the salt any day. It's clearer, cleaner,
and I can actually float in it. And between 15 degrees N and S it's nice
and warm.

I'm just wondering why my salt scrub from Switzerland costs so much.

Maybe I should just go sailing in the ocean and save the money?

Because it's from Switzerland?

Only if you live there. Visiting for a "salt scrub" might make the Swiss
stuff look cheap by comparison.

Well, I buy it at cost because I'm a distributor, but it's still too damn
expensive.

Did you do the accounting on this?

Sadly, yes. Or at least counted the beans for something similar. I'd spend
a month each year in the Caribbean, doing "salt scrubs" (read: sailing,
swimming, scuba, and drinking on the beach) if my budget and work permitted.

Definitely a better product, regardless of the price!
