Hello All,
My name is Darrell and I am a new member of this group. I also got serious about sea kayaking last year paddling all around Salem Sound and out to Misery Island (and back).
So, over the past few days I've been itching to get out and kayak. But I was wondering about the water temp and was glad to see this post. I've often thought..."I'm not going out there without a drysuit on. So I really liked the comment "wear a drysuit or die" conditions.
So, when do you think it will be prudent to paddle in Salem Sound, harbor etc.. without a drysuit?
Any idea? late May perhap? Yes, I know it depends on the weather but is their a norm?
Also, I did check out buying a drysuit. Yikes! Those things are pricey.
