Ssssshhhhh Jimbo ... Thats the plan!!

Sabotage .. the easiest way of winning .. Russ, I'd keep an eye on your kite sheets if I were you, they look like they would fit nicely on the Vareo when I get home ...

Carrier bags over the drysuit feet and inside the wetsuit boots. Keeps your feet warm that little bit warmer (somehow), and makes it easier to get the boots on and off as they slide on the bags!

A couple of pairs of thin (silk) socks with a normal pair over the top (or if room allows under the boots some wollen walkers) - then the drysuit

Rooster hot socks worked a dream this weekend.  Had them with gill trap boots and feet were very toastie.  If she's got a drysuit, maybe add ski socks as well, apprently they work well.

All I have a quick question that proberbly deserves another thread but never mind.  I am sailing with the mrs this weekend at the tiger but she is worried about her feet getting to cold. She has a drysuit and wetsuit socks and all but still seems to get cold feet really badly. Any suggestions??

With more snow forecast for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, wonder how many boats will make it up there? lots of wind and very cold, but the roads may be a little bad....
