Re: Grundle gear for cold-weather sailing on Lake Superior

When I was looking at gear before I went to West Marine I dismissed the Gill because it was so freaking expensive, and I never buy expensive stuff for myself, but when I got to the store the Gill was...

Re: Grundle gear for cold-weather sailing on Lake Superior

I ended up getting Gill OS24 jacket and bibs, which were freaking expensive, but after spending almost four hours sailing in the rain today, I'm not complaining about the price. I may have made a...

Re: Grundle gear for cold-weather sailing on Lake Superior

The Shannon 38 that I'm in the process of buying is a full-keel boat with a 5ft draft. It should be good for both canals and blue water. If I go the St. Lawrence Seaway, I'll probably go in the late...

Re: Grundle gear for cold-weather sailing on Lake Superior

I'm in the process of buying a ketch, which means I'll have two masts to unstep if I go the Erie Canal route. But I've always wanted to visit the Maritime Provinces so having a ketch motivates me to...

Re: Grundle gear for cold-weather sailing on Lake Superior

West Marine was out of virtually everything Grunden; the only gear they had in my size was Gill, which was freaking expensive, but I needed it by tomorrow morning so I didn't have a lot of options. I...

Re: Grundle gear for cold-weather sailing on Lake Superior

I plan to spend next year getting familiar with my new home on Lake Superior, then head out to the Atlantic and down to the Bahamas the following year. After that, who knows? The girl I'm buying...

Re: Grundle gear for cold-weather sailing on Lake Superior

We're having a bit of an early cold snap this year, but it's looking like it will warm up to around 60 by Sunday.

The problem with my hunting gear is that it's bulky and not very good for moving...

I'm a northerner--I know how to keep my grundle toasty warm!

Re: Grundle gear for cold-weather sailing on Lake Superior

I'll be wearing at least three layers. I'm used to hunting deer in northern Minnesota, sitting in tree stands for hours when it's 10 below zero. I mostly need the waterproof outer gear. Plus in the...

Re: Grundle gear for cold-weather sailing on Lake Superior

Re: Grundle gear for cold-weather sailing on Lake Superior

Yes. I meant Grundens. I should know better than to try to type without my glasses! I have vision problems related to the flickering lights of computer screens (cellphones--forget about it!), which...

Grundens gear for cold-weather sailing on Lake Superior

I'm going to spend much of the next few weeks sailing on Lake Superior and am shopping for cold-weather gear today. The Grundle stuff looks solid. Does anyone recommend that or anything else?
