Ice cold kayak sailing

In this episode I finish my winter sail with freezing my feets. It took several weeks after this episode to recover. Don't do the same mistake as I did. Use a camping mattress inside the cockpit, change socks often and keep warm.

"Might be rain might be snow, you never know" Poetic piece. Well done! You survived a difficult day. Most would not dare😮😊

Thank you for commenting, and noticing the poetry! I survived but my feets are still not well. The heels where worst. The first weeks I thought I might need an amputation. I haven't been sailing since then as I start freezing sooner but also as we have had ice on all accessible water. There will be mostly building episodes for a while now until the ice melts.

I use to jetski a lot in the winter (even when there was snow on the ground). Wet suit boots would keep my feet warm. Might be something that could help if your feet get wet once in a while.

Thank you for commenting. Well, actually I had neoprene boots (15mm), drysuit, thick wool socks and thin wool socks. When moving around it's not that hard to stay warm but in the kayak cockpit the space is limited. I should have insulated the bottom with a camping mattress but forgot the sized one at home.

Good video. Hope you warmed up!

Thank you for commenting! I might need some whisky😉, have to build something to get a reason.
