<p>Funny you should write that today under a thin blanket of snow!</p>
<p>We are looking at 60's next week, and I suspect some people will be off to Hatteras soon.</p>
<p>Me, I'm rehabbing from a broken thumb/torn ligament, so I've got another month off.</p>

<p>The unseasonably warm weather continues. Had a nice 4.1 session Tuesday on Lake Lansing. I got to use my 76 liter high-wind board.

<p> My 2021 season is finally underway! I got out on Lake Lansing yesterday with a 5.1 and my 100 liter board. Not only was the air temperature unseasonably warm, the water was remarkably warm as well! After about an hour, I ditched the winter mittens in favor of gloves with fingers, and ditched the thick scuba-diving boots in favor of summer booties (which fit better in the footstraps anyway). I was toasty warm (and, at times, actually hot) in my Bare drysuit, but I think I will…</p>

<p> On the topic of nature sightings... at one point, I saw what looked like a muskrat swimming toward me. Whatever it was, it dove before I got too close, so I could not make a positive ID. </p> Day one yesterday.
