Good luck to those that are going, but rather you than me!!

There's no way that wind guru forecast would tempt me to get the boat out of the garage where it lives in the winter.

I will be wearing the showa thermal gloves, my musto fleece balaclava (bright pink) and my gill trapeze boots.  If I am wearing a drysuit then I will wear ski socks, if I am brave/foolish and go for the wetsuit option I will try out my new chicken power hot socks and poly pro stuff.
the same, but different...

Sometimes the rib duty is colder than the sailors, only cos they are moving and you aren't.

Hope your not too busy otherwise you will be warm!
