My first time ever on the water in March. Water was a nippy 41 degrees, but I was able to keep dry aside from my feet. A sweatshirt and sweatpants did the trick.
FYI, this was on the Merrimack River in Bow.

You dog Chip! You might want to think about a neoprene suit. Where did you launch?

Near the Hooksett District Court. I notice they are getting the crews ready. If I can get the Ski Doo started, maybe we can all take a trip up the Merrimac!

I launched from the ramp next to the power plant in Bow. I rode the full length, went up to Garvins Falls, all the way back down to the Hooksett falls at the Courthouse. There was one other boat out, it was a guy fishing in the warm water by the power plant outlet. A few people on shore down by the courthouse ramp saw me, and I might have heard them call me crazy. :)

I am hoping to get out on Saturday if you anyone else is interested.
