Speaking of that every year I am out in the water within a week of ice out putting in my dock, 3 hours in the ice cold water with a 7MM wetsuit really isn't all that bad. No it's certainly not Bermuda but sure as hell is more comfy than t-shirt, shorts and a PFD.  |
Agreed, but bring your ice picks- the biggest issue is kicking/ pulling yourself out of the water onto the ice!
