I'm fighting that one personally - not right now, but in April. My dad and I have gone camping for 20 years now - there's a spring-fed lake and miles of creek. I just got a kayak and soooo want to kayak on the lake. But, in April - it's not going to terribly warm out and I know the water will be frigid. And, I don't want to buy a dry suit at the moment.

So, I need to listen to (all of) your post and just not do it. Wait for warmer weather and warmer water...
