So what is the water temp in your boating area?

For us, 72 F with the temp taken at the bottom of the Lake (40 or so feet) 1
mile off Cleveland (the western basin of Lake Erie is a shallow).

The water temp will climb to the mid 70's some time in August then begin to
start backing down.

53.6 this afternoon. Still waiting for our water to hit 60. Came close a
couple of times.

Those colors are pretty intense by any standard.

We're a bit colder in Puget Sound than offshore in the North Pacific.
Less direct influence from the tropical currents. Water temperature
most of the year is in the high-40's to low-50's.

Awesome. That's cold enough to keep beer chilled.

Arrgh, matey. It takes a rough tough seaman to boat in these frigid
waters, it do. Literally shivers me timbers, just thinkin' about it.

I would hate to fall in those waters from the boat as ones survival time
ranges from 1 to 6 hours, with expected time before unconsciousness of 30
minutes to 2 hours.

No thanks.

80F? Where are your temperatures taken? Are these surface temps?
