    SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....................that's the reason I left the
Midwest for the south. I used to have to go into lizard mode and bask in the
garden on the one sunny day out of thirty during the winter months. I once saw
a  white water boat used as a sled. Could a tandem boat be used as a toboggan?
Perhaps use the rudder as an ice brake?


    I am taking my L1 L2 class in Savannah tomorrow AM. Wish me luck. Water
temp in the low 70's. Air similar.

Snow is the reason I am preferring to camp out the
outer islands of Baltic sea - nothing beats balancing
the slippery and wet rocks in the mornings! At least
the neprene boots smell less if it gets below zero
degrees centigrades... Dark nights and foggy mornings
have arrived.

Testing my winter sleeping bag tomorrow night.
