The Ferocious Frostbite Regatta

It's a wild, wooley weekend here in Calgary. Last night it rained and it snowed and then rained again. I expected to wake to a white wonderland but fortunately, the snow didn't stay on the ground east of Scott Hill. The temperature hovered near zero and the trees swayed this way and that way in the wind.

This called for all the gear: full wetsuit with shorty wetsuit on top, neoprene socks, water shoes, polar fleeze, rain pants, water resistant windbreaker, windstopper gloves, toque, and of course the ever insulating life jacket.
