Luckily it was not a day that I had taken the boat out but one that I had just gone to the marina to check on the boat and let the engine run, but none the less, it was still pretty bad. When I used to work on the charter boats I would never leave the dock without my rain coat and a change of clothes, most cruises I didn't need it but I was lucky I had it on some nights. I always knew that I had nothing to loose and would always keep it in my backpack that I took on the boat.
Since I was just on inland lakes I didn't buy very expensive ones but just enough to keep me dry. In fact, most of the time I would only wear the jacket but I always had the pants with me. Some said that my jacket wasn't even considered foul weather gear but just a rain jacket, actually it was, I knew that since I would always be close to shore all I needed to do was keep dry for a short period of time. Now, if I ever go down into a bigger body of water I will definitely get me a better set.
Many outdoor stores carry many different kinds of foul weather gear. Go and pick you up a set before its too late and you wish you had.
