Between 20-40, we can probably sail around the isolated clouds. 60 or higher, and we'll at best be able to scoot quickly between cells. 80+ and we'll likely hunker down. The summer LIS forecast virtually always says something about a "possibility" of thunderstorms. As a rule of thumb, I will generally go out unless the probability is more than 50%. Pretty close to the Chesapeake. I've gotten a little more bold after 16 season's experience. I'm more rarely surprised these days since I recognize the bad signs more reliably. Again, that's part of the local knowledge required to interpret any weather report. I'd be more chicken in foreign cruising grounds -- even as close as the Chesapeake below the Bay Bridge, within sight of our marina on a good day. -- Jere Lull Xan-à-Deux -- Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI trips & tips: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
