Yesterday morning it was 19 degrees. Today it was 17. Last week it was in the 70's. Something's wrong here!!

Re: Weather Update
it's cold and the cockpit of my boat is filled with ice from where the rain/snow storm the day before filled the tarp over it to the brim

Re: Weather Update
Denver has moved to more spring-like weather 30s at night and 50s/60s during the day (even got some rain which we needed).
I went sailing last week!

Haven't been sailing yet, its varnish and polish time right now. I vanished the hatch covers, hatch slides and hand holds the other day. I also varnished the tiller and thought I had done an excellent job. Came back yesterday and found I had done an excellent job on the tiller, on the right side!!! There are two sides to a tiller - who knew!!

Re: Weather Update
I confused Sailing my Scamp with the Iditarod race earlier last month. A cold but fun sail on the lake. The sails in the distance were racing, as I could not serve as an obstacle I steered well clear.

Re: Weather Update
Well, I finally was able to get out! I went out on Good Friday and what a good Friday it was!! Temps were around 80 degrees (Some years this place is almost like Florida where you go from Winter to Sauna almost overnight!) I wasn't out for long, sailing from my slip to the Cherokee Lake Dam and back (about 4 miles round trip). I was out for about 90 minutes, just enough to remind me how pleasant being on the water can actually be!!
