I think I'll stick to 45 degrees and drizzling. :-)
(Talk about boats that would be affected by climate change!)
That's your year-around water temp, right?

It's a bit warmer than that in Puget Sound, varying from about 48-52
degrees during the year. Some of the inland lakes can be warm enough
for comfortable swimming.

45 degrees is a typical air temperature in November. Just like Puget
Sound, the air warms up to about 52 in the summer. :-)


52F water temp? In the summer?
Hehehehe.

Jesus. I'd sooner go bowling. Bundled up boating isn't my cup of tea. The
women wear their bikinis under parkas.

Northwestern boaters must take their lives in their hands every time they go
out.......even in mid July. 1-3 hour expected survival time in those sort
of water temperatures.
