Ought to be a boating holiday. It's halfway between solstice and
equinox, boating weather and longer daylight hours are returning to the
northern latitudes.

I'll trade my -8C for your boating weather. Things are looking up.We may
actually creep a degree or two over the freezing mark in the next day or so.
It's been a while!
