I thought it was Spring, but it was not

Today was such an alluring day to hit the water because the sun was shining and we hit 52 degrees F. The perfect early-season water day, right?

Well, the cold snap of the past two weeks was a distant memory when I loaded my kayak and headed for my local training grounds. I was a little surprised when I saw ice at the boat ramp, but it looked like enough open water that if I could get up the reservoir a little bit where the sun was shining I’d find clear, open water.

I was wrong.

I’m itching to start my Spring training on actual, real water.
