If it is any small consolation to anyone, here in central VT it was exactly 0 degrees F this AM, and headed to -10 tonight in my cold little vale. Water, water everywhere and not a drop to paddle......

Last night a wind chill of -15 F was predicted. Somewhat related: I was in Providence, RI last Friday, the day that kayaker went missing near Boston. It was in the high 50's that day, the kind of early spring day that has so many times before prompted someone to go out for a paddle, even though the water temps are still in the low 40s or colder. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

In lake Ontario, the water temps wont be "up" until the end of May. If this is your paddling criteria, it makes for an awefully short paddling season.

I'm taking a two day short boat surf class on Tybee St Patrick's day weekend. It could be balmy or it could be bitter. So goes March.

I just bought my wife her first drysuit (from craigslist). But I would like daytime air temps to be closer to 60 than to 40. And I just arranged for a slip for the "muthah-ship" at Oak Harbor Marina; only 20 miles from Deception Pass where there is a marine state park called "Cornet Bay" complete with docks and moorings. Twenty more miles and I'm in the middle of the San Juan Islands. And, as of this month, I'm officially on Social Security. :D Craig Jungers Moses Lake, WA *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

We're going to do the week-long SOF kayak building class that Brian of Cape Falcon Kayaks offers. I know I'm going to build Brian's F1 which is an SOF kayak in the spirit of the Mariner Coaster and looks to have fantastic surfing and maneuverability characteristics. Pam is leaning that way too. It is two months away, and will pre-empt any trips to so. cali. but I'm really looking forward to it. Just wish that there was a one-week yurt at Manzanita State Park for us to rent (they're all booked). For the curious among you, here ( http://www.capefalconkayak.com/f1surf.html ) is Brian's web page with photos of the F1 in the surf and on the beach. It's 6 inches longer than the Coaster and can be customized to fit me a little better (I need a slighly larger cockpit, for instance). But a 5-day trip to the islands sounds terrific right now. I'm going to be hard-pressed to be ready to take a week off by May 3rd what with the mother-ship and the shop restoration.

Craig, I'd love to do that class sometime. I'll be interested to see how you think the SOF compares with your 'real' Coaster! If I wasn't so lazy and could get some of the work I need to do done around the house, I could contemplate building a boat and a SOF would probably be my project of choice.
