I made the effort to get on the water yesterday since it was possible and I had enough motivation to overcome doubts about "borderline" paddling conditions. For me (in Michigan) every minute on the water in January goes a long way towards soothing the soul.

A little colder today but dry and less windy. Hmmm.

Happy New Year. I don't have the nerve (or the gear) to paddle in the winter anymore so I'll have to wait.

Too funny, it took me a while to realize this was last years thread, I even looked at the date and saw 2025 and thought how did I reply to this already.
Welcome to 2026 everyone.

Yeah, I fell for it too. Anyway... happy New Year! Waiting for it to either stop raining or start snowing. Meanwhile I'm sitting by the fire.
