It hurts when you haul and then the weather turns nice, but that hasn't happened up here. In a month or so, we'll get those Xmas card samples, the ones that show a pretty sailboat sitting in a calm harbor at dusk, cabin lights on, snow on deck, wreath decorating the boat. I think, "wish I could sit on my boat like that." But reality is that it would be too cold to sail and too dangerous with snow on deck. The oil lamp would be giving off moisture that would be condensing on the overhead and dripping down my neck. Or, the wind would be blowing 30 knots and the boat would be hunting on the mooring and it would be cold and nasty. I haven't even been able to fold my sails yet--too much rain. Chris Campbell

Mike, Great to hear from you! Air temp was actually 98, we have had a cooling trend the last week and they say we have seen the last of triple digits for the year.

I can't quite figure out why their neighbors have theirs running when the outside air temp is below about 75º F. Just open the windows, for goodness' sake. And the whole idea of a boat with air conditioning is counterintuitive. I'll confess that my truck has AC, and on hot summer days when I'm all duded up in lawyer clothes I'll use it, and also it gets used on highway drives because it's more efficient than open windows at highway speeds. But I do feel decadent. When it's really hot in town, I'll row out to the mooring and jump off the boat into refreshing Lake Michigan water. The body cools down pretty quickly. Life is more interesting when your body has to accommodate exposure to temps over am annual range just over 100 degrees. Let's hear it for interesting lives. Chris Campbell > >

I too would prefer the right temp but, when cabin temp is 146 (as it was in Aug) and 119 outside, it was GREAT to have the AC Yep, water was 86 but I can't sail well while dragging through the water So, now its 92 and water temp is 80 so I'm heading to the lake for some perfect weather, light air sailing!
