anybody here keep the boat in through late october? I always get tempted when we get one of those random 60 degree weekends. Then I remember how fast the weather can turn and start talking myself out of it.

yep. some of the best days are late season. I just get a lot pickier about forecast and daylight. cold water changes the whole risk calculation.
