Message: [QUOTE="Bestiarius, post: 2266803, member: 1939"] For years my wife and I raced 9 foot Dyer sailboats (called frostbiting) in Connecticut on Long Island Sound, every winter Sunday between November and April. The fleet was followed around the course by crash boats, in case someone capsized, a common occurrence. We wore only winter clothes, not wet suits and you haven't lived until you experienced capsizing in the middle of winter with the wind blowing 20 knots. It was a lot of fun and was good getting out of the house into the elements. Made the winter zoom by, and a piece of cake. Actually, the CT winters aren't all that bad. There is a lot of sun and the towns are well equipped to clear the streets of any snow quickly. Another advantage is the high house prices in most areas of CT. If you want to go south, it's easy to afford after selling your high priced CT house. [/QUOTE]
