Water Temp?

It sure seems like the lake has been even more empty of boats and boaters so far this year than previous years. It has been extremely empty of boats all around FL-3, except for last Saturday and Sunday.

Sailing alone in a small sailboat, about 11'10" long, and getting flipped into the cold water is not a happy prospect. While I have waded out to neck deep cold water maybe ten times in the past two weeks, getting tossed out of a flipped over sailboat could be a serious problem, so's I am waiting till the water temp gets up to 60-degrees before sailing alone. Hopefully, will give it a go today or tomorrow or the next day?

Somewhere, I recall reading that the trainees trying to get into the Navy Seals have to endure swimming in a 50-degree swim pool at a Navy facility in Michigan.
