My 64.whatever day (actually sailed in a 5/3 semidry) was strictly tame flatwater ( face dunking would have been no fun) and ice in the water can be problematic. Still, if I can get my partner in crime to join me I'll shoot for a 63 this winter!PeconicPuffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15727526949787504644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112012213416238480.post-13701497941307457212009-01-26T09:49:00.000-05:002009-01-26T09:49:00.000-05:00The 100 rule is arbitrary and capricious.

I'd like to think 60 would be entirely doable (caveat: the sun has to be shining)<BR/><BR/>Ken Kellar and I had a fun sesh a few years ago on the Chesapeake where by the end there was significant ice on my sail. That day had to be in the mid 60s.<BR/><BR/>As for certain obx sailors who hold firm to the 100 rule, I could bust BILL'S chops, but I have nothing but respect for him, so I give him a pass!George Markopouloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439149933631899175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112012213416238480.post-54607945825194862172009-01-25T22:28:00.000-05:002009-01-25T22:28:00.000-05:00When I lived in the USVI a few winters ago, the gu...When I lived in the USVI a few winters ago, the guy who stocked the Ice Cream in the grocery stores wore a down jacket all day everyday. Cold is relative : ) I'm not sure what he put on his face to hinder frostbite, though.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07271790605471088648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112012213416238480.post-21592966269054493662009-01-25T17:27:00.000-05:002009-01-25T17:27:00.000-05:00Looks like a good sesh (aren't they all in January...Looks like a good sesh (aren't they all in January?)<BR/><BR/>Hey on the keeping your face warm tip, see if you can track down some Dermatone. Chapstick is better than nothing, but Dermatone is made for the purpose. Take it from a northeast winter windsurfer (I'm having a hard time thinking of those OBX guys talking "cold".)<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>Here's <A HREF="http://www.peconicpuffin.com/the_peconic_puffin/2007/02/adventures_in_c.html" REL="nofollow">my coldest session to date</A> taking the 100 rule below 65.<BR/><BR/>(just kidding on Andy...also chapstick is easy to find...dermatone only shows up in mountaineering and cross country skiing shops to the best of my knowledge.)PeconicPuffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15727526949787504644noreply@blogger.com
