Looking ahead to next week, the low temps are dropping into the 20s. So we grabbed a couple hours this morning for one last run!

38 degrees and light drizzle? No problem, the wind is down and the lake was glass. (no traffic at the boat ramp, and not another boat in sight!

skibrain is a good name. 38 and wet. ...but the water was probably still 65 or so.
You are a tougher man than me. :eek:

SkiBrain - I recall you doing this same sort of thing last year. A true die hard. Looking good. :thumb:

Water was 44.
My friend doesn't have the heater option in his Ski Nautique, so it was a little cool driving. A small cooler of hot water in the boat is the best - a quick dip of hands and feet before and after each run! :)

Good to see you lasted a few more weekends than I did! Water was 67 degrees on 10/25and 26 here in Oklahoma but we lucked out with air temps in the mid 80's. Water was a little cool with just a 3mm shorty wetsuit but worth every second. It was a sad day winterizing but the girl has been put to rest for the winter. Hope you have a short winter and get back on the water ASAP!

Looks like you pushed it right to the end with all the snow we are supposed to get today. Way to make the most out of the season.
