Depends on how well you know your water, the direction, temperature, boat size, and your power source- fins, oars, or motor. Can you call someone located at your destination to find out what conditions are? How bumpy does the ride get at 10 mph? Are there protected areas where you don't have to fight to hold position? Which shorelines will be calmer for use in getting to your target area?
Hope this helps.

[quote Hnaf]So I'm just trying to get a better feel for planning trips out on my toon. What I don't have figured out well enough is how fast the wind, as a general rule, needs to be going to be too fast for a tube/toon trip. So I'll put this question out for anyone willing to share their opinion. When you look at your favorite forecast info as you plan trips what is your cut off point that would make you choose a different day to go?[/quote]
