BrianV:I bought a 7/5 suit, coupled with a 7 skirted hood I think I'll be able to do 60 degrees fine.
My checkout was pretty chilly, like 60-62 and I did it with a 7mm with 3mm skirted hood, 3mm boots, and 3mm gloves; had no issues after 2 :55 dives.
So in early March I'll probably head out to Windy or Mansfield. I'll let you guys know and maybe we can meet up. I've been to Windy Point like 4 or 5 times, but never to Mansfield; which one do you guys prefer?
I like Stearnes (rattlesnake) best, but am lucky to have buddies with boats. Plus a couple of other ' secret spots' further up lake. Mansfield always a good choice, as is Windy Point, if don't have boat access. Plus for windy is ya can get air fills without drivin' back down 620.
