Hi Bob The only problem with living up here is that the lakes are frozen this time of year. But that not too much of a problem, there are no bugs, the campsite are not too busy and we just run across the lakes with the dog sleds. BTW we consider Toronto the far south Bill Silver North Bay, Ontario 200 miles north of Toronto 46:21:49N 79:25:22W Temp at 08:00hrs -31 oC Bob Denton wrote: Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2000 14:15:00 -0500 From: Bob Denton <BDenton_at_aquagulf.com> Subject: RE: [Paddlewise] New Boat-Let Me Tell a Story I just returned from a weekend in Toronto. I have gained a new level of respect for those who live above the 49th parallel! I can only compare my experience of walking out of a pub in downtown Toronto at 2am with the scene from 2001 when HAL ejects one of the crew into the cold void of space. It was beyond weather! It was another planet, radically different from the one my home in Delray Beach, Florida exists on. I was told it was -38 (at that temperature C and F are about the same: brutal) and the only comments passed by the locals were: "A bit cool eh?" I will never complain about hurricanes or mosquitoes again! cya *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
