Last year, it was icy and cold—temperatures struggling to climb out of the 20s.
In fact, last year's video—included with this post—shows ice on the ramp.
By 10 a.m. Saturday, the temperature should be creeping into the high 30s—balmy in comparison to a year ago. However, the slight breeze—forecast calls for 15 mph winds—might make for a chilly exit from the water.
I'll be there. It should be a lot of fun.
