Mine's still in. I usually pull it perhaps a week into November. Oh, to be sure, there are some lovely, balmy days in November when it's pure boating pleasure to get out there with absolutely nobody else making waves, and on occasion the water even on the Broads is flat, so that even with a parka on a boat ride out there is serene. But by early November the more likely expectation is that the weather will be too unpleasant for boating, and getting the boat out means just another get-ready-for-winter gets crossed off the list. Shortly after that come the days when I wish I had left it in. A couple of years back, New Year's Day saw the temp flirting with 60 and I saw a boat out for a NYD cruise.
