October Windsurfing
- Air Temperature: 4C
- Water Temperature: 3C
- Wind Speed: 15-22 knots
- Windsurfing: Priceless!!
Woodette and I decided today to go windsurfing from the Dryden Yacht Club today. We still had all of our gear in The Blue Moose from a Thursday session at Thunder Lake, so the decision to drive to the DYC was easy, and besides the water is nice and flat (good for not falling in when it's so cold out!). Woodette sailed for about a half hour before her feet started to freeze up, so she come in and grabbed the camera to take some pics and videos, one of which you see above. I sailed for close to 2hrs as I had neoprene socks under my booties and my Bare baggy drysuit on which kept me toasty warm. I came in after a half hour to warm up my hands on the heater from the Blue Moose, then sailed for the next hour and a bit without feeling cold at all. Every session on the water at this time of year, especially this part of the world, is a bonus for us.
Stay Cool...

I couldn't feel my feet for about an hour, but what a blast. That beer in the Hot Tub was also priceless..

I watched the video waiting for the perfect jibe and then..... it just stops before you jibed or hit the wall. What did happen?? I can't wait for the sequal! Ha!

You can see just at the end of the video, the initiation to "the perfect jibe".haha! Too bad the camera wasn't rolling as I had nailed few that day! The dock is a big L shape and the water was real flat close to the main dock which was great for jibing!

As long as the water is liquid, we should sail! A hot tub sounds like a good idea...
