[quote=Prindle75]I am around the corner from you in Michigan (Muskegon) and do most of my sailing on Muskegon Lake. The weekend here on Lake Michigan was amazing - sunny and high 80's - but no wind at all. I had to resort to the water skis.
I pushed it into early October last year for the first time. I have a buddy who will join me when the winds hit 20+ and fall seems to bring that more often than the summer time. He is great on the wire (220 lbs) and the two of us can right the boat in no time flat (just in case we push it too far).
What I remember about fall sailing is the need for neoprene! I used a full wet suit and have added a water proof spray top this year - my guy on the wire drenched me with every wave he hit and most of it went down my back. I have also found neoprene gloves at the local watersports shop - my hands froze!
With the right gear, I can keep the cat going right up to (snow) ski season![/quote]
