Watch too early for winterizing.

I'll wait until late October or early November just in case a nice mild day blows up from down south.

We've just gone from a crappy damp windy two week period but expect this week to be sunny and mild.

Trouble is, the tide cycle is against me for launching and retrieving at most ramps.

Guess I'll go to a lake today or tomorrow.

You folks have a higher tolerance for cold weather. I see the

Canadians actually getting in the water here in February.

Air is 70, water 68 and they are saying "Toasty eh"

When I was a kid and visiting my grandparents in the summer up in

Massachusetts, we'd go swimming off Revere Beach and for some reason I

never thought the water was too cold. My mother told me I was splashing

in the water there with her in late August 1945 when I was about a year

and a half old, just before Japan surrendered. Nowadays, I'd probably

not stick a toe in that water. Florida ocean temperature waters "ruined"

me for the swimming waters of my Yankee heritage.

Here's a peek at a weather buoy at the mouth of Halifax harbor.
Air & water temps very close right now. ( 1240 hrs ADT )
