Patrick, it doesn't look like you will need a wetsuit anywhere on Lake Michigan. See http://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/glsea/glsea.gif and http://chmac2.chem.mtu.edu/KITES/images.html. For Lake Superior surface temperatures, see http://www.coastwatch.msu.edu/twosuperiors.html and http://chmac2.chem.mtu.edu/KITES/images.html, and note how warm it is in the Apostle Islands!

You might not need the wetsuit. That's _extremely_ warm for Lake Michigan! <snip> Dave Seng Juneau, Alaska (former Chicago resident) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Aug 04 1999 - 14:54:48 PDT
