I was thinking of going, but I can't remember the wetsuit rule. Is it if you add the windspeed, air and water temps and its over 100 you don't need a wetsuit? Let see water - 50, air 25, wind 20-30. Looks to me like its probably close to being wetsuit conditions.

What happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.
You are supposed to dress in layers. So, 1st put on the shorty, then put on a 3/2, then your drysuit. Three neoprene hoods, 8 pair of gloves ( but be sure to use the gloves that prevent arm pump ) and 4 booties.
Now that should do it. No problem man! Even good enough for tomorrow when it is 6 degrees.
I don't think I can sail cause I have too much to do but I wanted to give a little advice to those who were wondering what to do.
Please let me know if this was helpful. ( I got that from the health car web site )
If you have a couple of old booms, some duct tape and shower curtains and a parking lot you could try this.

Looks like perfect wind conditions if you are an Eskimo. Ouch!
I know I will be there.
Be there or be square.

That's not so far-fetched. A buddy of mine who used to sail at Galts used to wear two wetsuits.

I once put a shorty under my full suit when it was in the 30s. But then, I, too, was in my 30s. Now I struggle to get into my full suit alone .
