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"

Lately we've been getting a lot more hot weather, but I remember in my teens and early 20's a lot of summers where 75 would be a 'hot' day.
Water seldom gets up over 68 here on the Atlantic Coast even in late August/early September....except for a few beaches in deep bays.
example: Queensland or Hubbards beaches in St Margaret's Bay.
On the north shore, it's a different thing on the Northumberland Strait.
They claim it's the warmest salt water north of the Carolinas.. at least that's what they tell the tourists.

We used to belong to the Oxon Hill Swim club, a privately built and
maintained swimming pool in Maryland. The water came from a deep well
and they just let the pipe run most of the time. The water cruised
around 69-70 all summer. We had complaints from other swim team
coaches that our water was too cold.

I don't get into my pool unless I have to until it reaches 80 and prefer
85.
