Fantastic pictures - Thanks very much for posting them. I will use this as amunition to persuade my friends to come out more often in winter.

I noticed in the pictures on your site you are wearing Gill dinghy boots. I use them through the (mild) Texas winter and have never had cold feet out on the boat. I also wear a similar hat. I haven't tried full ski gloves, but fleece windstopper gloves work well (wet or dry). Some guys wear ski goggles to keep the spray off their faces.

I'm hoping Santa brings a dry suit. It will beat my current wetsuit / foul weather gear combo for comfort after capsizing.
