Cold day out on the water - first row of the year

Despite the chilly start to the year there were quite a few folk out on the river enjoying the winter sunshine and calm condition 

A lone laser sailor who was very well wrapped up against the cold practices the COL regs with a tender presumably going up to a yacht or motorboat further up river.

Some paddle boarders enjoying the almost flat calm conditions, difficult to tell but I'd want to have a wet suit on under those clothes given the water and air temperature, hopefully they did.

A couple of boats from Hamble River Rowing club were out, the cox called out to me by name so clearly recognised if not me then my boat. I could only reply with "with happy new year" as I couldn't see that well, so apologies for not recognising you.

 On the slip a couple of hardy fishermen were debating the the strength of time, from their gear they looked to have been there from early morning and well wrapped up against the cold.
