Icy Water....Brrrrrrrrr!

The plan was to hop in the car, head up to the lake and jump in the kayaks! Yeah, right. There's still ice on the lake! It was 65 degrees and there was STILL ICE ON THE LAKE! It looked like the Baltic Sea, loose ice-lets floating over about 1/2 the lake. All I could do was imagine my little (okay, medium sized!) butt sitting down in that kayake, down in that ice, UGH! We're standing out on the peak, doing a little "air test" because it was windy out. I have on a stocking cap, my big red sweatshirt with the hood up, my hiking boots.....I look like I'm READY for the Baltic Sea!! And it's 65 degrees! Suddenly......"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" came out of my mouth. "IT WOULDN'T BE FUUUUUUUN!!".After all, isn't that why we kayak? To have FUN? Not to be the first kayakers on the lake. Or to see just what our endurance level is! I KNOW mine!! It's ZERO!!! So we checked out our camper (which was fine) and drove down to the local Pub for greasy burgers, fries, and a cocktail.......mmmmmmm, now that was fun!
