Pintail Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I shall probably be there to join you, PeterB (weather conditions being suitably decent -- last year was miserable, AFAIR -- chilly, that is!)

PeterB Posted September 24, 2011 Author Posted September 24, 2011 It looks like a mild , warm humid day, conditions tame. So, Post Meeting paddle is on.It looks a bit warm for drysuits to me, water temperatures are sill not-cold and temps may be 70, so it look s more like of a late summer than an early fall paddle. Don't forget to bring lunch. There wont be much time between the meeting and the paddle.If you're not going to the meeting but showing up for the paddle, theres a slight chance people will show up a bit late because finishing up the meeting exactly at 12 and then getting to Pavilion can be a bit unpredictable. But we'll be appearing soon enough. Options for paddling will be L2 and/or L3. See you tomorrow WEAK LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY WILL MOVE ACROSS MAINE AND DISSIPATE LATER TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE WATERS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE WATERS THROUGH MIDWEEK... KEEPING WIND SPEEDS LIGHT. A FRONT WILL CROSS THE WATERS ON WEDNESDAY. SUNNW WINDS AROUND 5 KT...BECOMING S IN THE AFTERNOON. SEAS 2 TO3 FT. AREAS OF FOG IN THE MORNING. VSBY VARIABLE TO LESS THAN ONEQUARTER NM IN THE MORNING.SUN NIGHTS WINDS AROUND 5 KT...BECOMING W AFTER MIDNIGHT. SEAS2 TO 3 FT.Sunday... Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog in the morning. Patchy fog in the afternoon. Humid. Near steady temperature around 70. North winds around 5 mph...Becoming southeast in the afternoon.

nancysan Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Thanks to all for a good day off and on the water and to Peter for leading the meeting. Thanks, Rick for leading a cool group in post-meeting paddle and practice. Very fun day and I thought the meeting included good discussion / ideas, etc.
