1 Month (almost exactly) for me. I can get the SAN out of the storage facility on April 1.

[Luke]

I'm ready to go as soon as the ice melts. Hopefully in the next 3-4 weeks.

In CT we still have 24" of ice. I don;t expect to be wet unitl early May.

[NautiqueChick]

Probably not till May, I'm tired of waiting though. Summer needs to get here faster!

In CT, we start drysuit skiing, as in going out for like half and hour per person and then going in in about April maybe. Usually, its just the skiiers going out on the boat in that weather, oppose to the whole family. We will probably start getting serious in May.

We have not quit here in texas, been at least twice a month. It's starting to get warmer, so now the only thing that should keep us out is the winds are picking up.

[MinnesotaNautique]

There is still a foot of snow and plenty of ice up here in Minneapolis. The sun has not been out in about 8 days! We were out skiing in late April last year.

May 9 (Mother's Day) is the official season opener for me. However, I've been counting the hours since October. As soon as we have a liquid state of matter here in MN, might just have to get out there.
In case you want to count the days and hours too, here's a little app I made for the countdown. It's nothing special, but it works.

You'll need to have the Java Runtime Environment installed first. You can get that at http://java.sun.com

Aren't there a lot of hydrofoilers at hyco just for fun? I talked to someone yesterday and he mentioned he's gone once and he's planning on going again. Is this the same hyco event?
