kevinfre Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want you to get rained out, but if by chance you do cancel on Saturday and people want to go on Sunday, I think I'd be able to join 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEL Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
