Sue H. Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Hi Bill, sorry to hear of your struggles and will be missed. I had added Karen already if you want to come just for the party portion. Best, Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Dew Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Sorry all. I’m still dealing with sinus issues. I won’t be making it tomorrow. Happy paddling and partying! Edited October 20, 2023 by Ms. Dew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Ryan Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Welp- hate to bail on the paddle but every time I look at the forecast it deteriorates. It went from "Showers" to "RAIN RAIN RAIN" from 8 am - 8 pm. Susan R and I are carpooling from the southern lands so we will forego the paddle but SEE YOU AT THE PARTY at 4:00! ? ?

Joseph Berkovitz Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I’m looking forward to the party and the chance to see everyone. I do want to say a few things about the paddle and conditions tomorrow, which I am also looking forward to! Paddling doesn’t have to be a fair weather thing only. Rain isn’t dangerous by itself and it can be quite enjoyable once you’re on the water- you’re already dressed to be wet! Lightning is dangerous, but I have not found any mention of thunderstorms in any forecast. Regardless, we can and will check radar and will not be going far from shore. As far as wind and waves: there may be some easterly winds (blowing us towards the shore) and chop early in the day but these aren’t currently expected to be very strong; we can always stay in the most protected end of the sound. The real weather event tomorrow is the cold front, which the weather models now agree should arrive tomorrow night, long after we are off the water. All of this is to encourage folks who have doubts to come to the paddle with their boats and an open attitude that with some prudence and common sense, fun is possible - maybe even likely - in New England fall weather! If the forecasts are right, this may be a chance to enjoy a different kind of paddle than the perfect summer’s day. And if the forecasts are wrong, we can think of some other fun to have together. Whatever the sky and ocean bring, I hope to see you tomorrow morning! j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
