Let's get this tread moving again,
Jeff S normally I would call your bluff but since you are an aussie I believe you.
I've spent years on Georgian Bay and I've raced in Florida a handfull of times and I know those guy's are full of it.
There is absolutely no wind in Florida unless there is a thunder cloud bearing down on you and the only time it blows in Georgian bay is when it's drysuit weather and the ice just melt (which could be June).
