Well, I guess my record 39 degrees is about middle-of-the-road, but the thing is, my friend and I were both on standup jet skis. There were snowflakes falling (late March in Michigan), we'd ride for 20 minutes, run inside and throw our wetsuits in the dryer to warm them up, then go out again.

Coldest I have been boating was probably in the mid 20's up in Maine. Coldest I have actually gone for a swim/surfing was 5 degrees down in Newport RI. We were in the water for about 2 hours. When we got out everything froze and we could not start the car our hands were so cold that we could not grasp the keys. We had a passerby start up the car for us and sat there for about 15 min looking at one another wondering WHY
