As many northern communities you see people doing all kinds of things that are typically summer sports and recreation.
Yesterday I visited our yacht club to see the progress on some construction that will be completed in the spring.
To my surprise there were some Laser sailors in their wetsuits going for a chilly sail. The air temperature was 45 - 46 degrees. I snapped a quick photo as they were leaving the shore.
Then as they were converging to discuss their insanity I snapped another. If you look close you can see the fall colors in the background.
Did you see any sun? NO!
I like sailing as much as the next sailor but I must admit...this is just short or being a polar bear for me!
Golfers, and others cling to the last days...until the snow flies. One thing about sailing some do it on hard water (ice) using iceboats. That has been one area of sailing I have been able to resist with ease.
Enjoy the last days. I will travel south to sail in Florida next month and then again in January, February and March. April we will start warming back up and the start all over again.
Have fun in whatever you love to do...and remember it is 5 o'clock somewhere!
