Sinking is no fun, unless its summer. I sunk a sled in the lake off Gay Sands in january, the most embarassing part was I was leaning forward for a big wave and my leg hit the kill switch. Went to the Gay Bar to thaw out and wait for a trailer for pick up. Thank god for Crown Royal. But my Klim boots stayed dry. The rest of me was an icicle. Made it 5 ft from shore, still plenty deep. Waded in, hooked a rope to a ski and dragged it out. Dah!! Sunk one in late april, plenty warm out. We were skipping on the river in Hubble, turned out it was barley 2 ft deep,[luck or oops] the Klimes were still dry, good money spent. We now live in FL. and I almost brought down a sled just to freak out the locals, the wife x-nayed that idea. Still wish I had, miss that smell, and sound of my tuned up poo 800. Plan on a sled trip this winter, Funny I used to go south in the winter? Whats up with that? Diving and snorkeling a wreck on sun or monday so lifes not so bad, another trip to the Keys in 2 weeks, we are camping, LOL in a 36 ft motorhome. Still miss sledding as I lived and breathed for every weekend of winter.[never missed 1] Haydays was not a option, it was a ritual for over 25 years.
