We sail 359, if its raining we give it a miss. The number of days of rain seem to be evaporating

It's much more productive if you live close enough to do daysails
I've only just moved from shorts to long trousers.
You're right, it does seem like a long time when you think about it but in reality it seems no time between laying up and re-launching and rushing to get all those jobs done that you had meant to complete during the winter.That feels like a long time not to sail, but I guess if you sail a lot in your season then it balances out.
You can still go sailing just fit skis to your boat...
I can sail all year round as we don't get ice or snow where I sail. one to think of it I have never even seen frost where I sail, some times we do at home but thats 2000 meters above sea level.
When we lived in the UK we sailed all winter. Good heating and the right clothes helped.We are still popping out for short sails and I wonder how many forum members sail throughout a winter season?

In fact my wife (then girlfriend) still remembers a valentines trip (early 90s we think) where we dragged anchor between starter and main course. We were covered in freezing mud, sleet and cold by the time we got sorted. Heating, Hot showers onboard and gin obviously worked because now we are anchored in Phuket Thailand.
