this michigan weather is killin' me. 8 days of rain straight and 2 more still to go. i'm never going to get that break in period over on my new boat if this weather doesn't let up.

its been low 90's upper 80s for four straight days up here in the western oregon/washington area. the water (though ice ass cold) feels good.

we get our rain in the winter.

In Nashville April was hot but May has been nothing but cool rain. I don't think we've hit 80 this month, most of the last week has been low 60's.

another reason why its nice being from florida, it is VERY rare to have more than a day of rain...much less 10... i sympathize with you though last year i was up in georgia at my friends lake house and it rained 5 days straight... STAY STRONG. good luck. im pulling for you

WannabeSS, i stated it wrong, what i meant to say was that its rare to get more than one ENTIRE day of rain like having it rain for more than one day straight through. yes of course i know it rains basically every afternoon in the summer but that still gives u time to wakeboard in the morning and after the rain the water is smoother than ever usually. days like last tuesday where it rains all day are rare especially once summer starts u gotta admit

dude i live in wisconsin and were in the same boat...plus its only 60 degrees!!! I hate the rain

i know its off the subject, but you guys talking about riding in the rain and stuff, how much rain is too much for the boat? i mean, i know a few sprinkles or a light shower wont be bad, but a decent shower for 20 minutes and everything is soaked....how much is too much.

i wanna go ride this weekend but the forecast is for showers. not a washout though. im not afraid of a little rain, just need to reassure the boat owner some rain wont hurt...lol

I'm in michigan too man; its been like a Bubb Rubbing week of piss weather; supposed to get better, first day, we're going ridin Twisted Evil

well i have a fishing boat so the rain is nothing the is doesnt see while staying outside on the lift anyway, i look at the rain in a positive light, seeing the rain as cleaning the salt water off and making my job easier. p.s. i hate salt water Evil or Very Mad

also, on my friends ski boat at lake burton in georgia, we end up getting caught in the rain all the time and there's never been an mold or mildew etc. in the seats, i would think it'd have to rain pretty hard for their to be any major problem with the boat

Weather now in Quebec: Air tremp 40F. Water temp 55F. There's whitecaps on the lake and the water level is 6 in over the top of the dock. And it's been raining since LAST weekend. Only thing holding me back is that the boat launch is so wet that it's like quicksand.... although I haven't asked the wife if she'd take me for a set. I don't think the season has arrived. Think I'll curl up by the fire and watch a Warren Miller DVD.

Rain, rain and more rain here in Nashville!!

What's worse is that it's always raining on Sunday, the one day I get to go out for a full day, and it keeps friggin raining!!! Evil or Very Mad

our pattern just changed. going into the weekend, we had 80+ degree weather and brilliant sunshine. then got thunderstorms yesterday (pretty rare here in western WA) and now its maybe 60 degrees and steady moderate rain. its supposed to stay mid 60s and rain all week. hopefully we get a bit of a clearing/warm up for memorial day.
