Re: Thank you

And thanks to Tim for bringing his heated trailer & snacks again today. It was a good place for the late-returning sailors to warm up.

Re: Thank you

ordered this:

http://stores.wetsuit.com/kite-vest-grey-d53/

Out of red in my size.
Save yourself a few bucks: note that vest sizing is different than wetsuit sizing. Because it's unisex, little me takes a L. Had to ship my first attempt back for an exchange.

The pullover is a bit thinner which would have probably been enough extra float but I was in the mood to float like a cork. These are not PFDs but add a bit of float and rib protection.

Thanks heavens there aren't seals at Aqualand. However, parts of this story sounds distressingly familiar.
