October 17, 200717 yr Not sure if I can make it, but at what point do you make a go/no-go decision based on weather? Right now National Weather Service is calling for 60% chance of "heavy rain" for Saturday. Kevin F

October 18, 200717 yr Hi Kevin, I Haven't paddled from Cashman Park. Could you give directions to the Park? I willbe coming south on 95 into NBPT. Thank you. Bob Take Exit 57 for Rt 113 Newburyport. It is the first exit after going over the Merrimack. Go left at the end of the exit. Go 2 miles. Take a left on Broad St which is just as you see the High School on the right. If you pass the school you have gone too far. Go to the end of the road and take a right onto Merrimac St Cashman park is about 100 yards on the left just after the office building. BTW, if you miss Broad, that's okay, just take Warren St on left to end, then turn left onto Merrimac and then an immediate right into Cashman) Brian
October 18, 200717 yr Hi Brian, Thanks for directions. Looking forward to the paddle. Hope the weather holds out. Bob
October 18, 200717 yr Author Hi Brian, Thanks for directions. Looking forward to the paddle. Hope the weather holds out. Bob The weather should clear by the afternoon according to the forecast
October 19, 200717 yr Weather looking better....I'll be there too. You never know till you stand at the launch site. Example: Marine forecast went from benign to gale warning in last 24 hours. Not saying weather/conditions will be bad. Actually looks OK for later in day. Just a comment on how fast things can change and why folks who post trips have my sympathy sorting out go no-go decisions. Imagine heading out for a three day trip on an exposed coast and having that happen. Ed Lawson
