I think Skippy hasn't a clue how fast the weather changes up north. It
will be summer, then there will be a week or two of fall then, BLAM,

Skippy had better point his bow south and get his fat arse going. He
needs to quit lollygagging around where he is now.

He's still got some time. Many cruising snowbirds head southfrom here
in October. They like to wait until the hurricanes have mostly quieted
down. Yeah, it gets chilly, especially at night. So what. There is
actually a lot of good sailing where he is now, until December most
years.


Im dont know a thing about the weather patterns in the NE but I can
tell you after a lifetime in the PNW at N 45 October is a very
seductive bitch of a month. Gorgeous days (Indian Summers) that will
close in on your ass with 45 degree F temps and 50 K Lows that last
for 2-3 days followed by a week of more gorgeous weather and
progressively lousy weather till we're in the typical winter pattern
of Low after Low after Low. Then some years all of October sucks!

I agree with Wilbur..... Skip should head south now or be willing to
spend the winter iced in, eating his cat, and bitching at Lydia who
has a wine in one hand and a smoldering butt hanging off her lip ALL
WINTER ! ! ! !

When the leaves turn color turn your back on the north.
