A month of Nova Scotia and vicinity sounds good.
There seem to still be a lot of West wetsuits around here. At Newport Beach, I saw plenty of Volte. Jack's sells them. Good to know you've been having cold fun.

Now that I've got the nice Hotline, I've gotta visit somewhere cold. It seems that shoulder problems causing difficulties with chest entries are fairly common.

Heathcote Garden of Lights was a mess. I was sidelined with rotator cuff surgery in August, finished physical therapy last week. Others did most of the setup labor, but everyone had problems with rain. So opening day was all sorts of last minute glitches. Looked fine for opening weekend. The Bonsai Gallery this year has every last tree lighted, some white, others in pink, yellow, orange, blue, or teal. It's a spectacle. The string lights sometimes do wonders to show off the beautiful trunks and branches.
