It's likely that Skippy will NOT be trying to head south offshore
against the Gulf Stream. That means a lot of ditch sailing and perhaps
some short hops off shore here and there. That means time. If he
leaves today it will be two or three months before he arrives in
southern Florida if he checks out the sights (and eateries and
drinkeries) along the way as he seems to enjoy doing. He's better get
going unless he enjoys blustery cold fronts chasing him down.

Is there anything else you and Wilbur do prematurely?- Hide quoted text -


LIke I said I dont know **** about the NE. the leaves at 3000' in the
PNW are turning now. Its a good indicator of approaching weather
change. You know -1.5 degrees per 1000' of elevation...... or was that
one degree change/1000'

Either way there are leaves changing at N 45 on the PNW coast. Maybe
that Lat is more noth than you, no?

Well got my run in this morning, at tomatoe and basil salad from the
garden for breakfast, and finished some work, now time to enjoy the
last warm days of summer.

I appologize for being so ignorant about the GREAT and scarry NE.

That admission might suggest to a reasonable person that this may not be the
best topic for casting your pearls of wisdom.

That's not inhibiting Jeff!

Dear Wilbur.
Typically I agree with you. However please become better informed and
learn the diffrence between, "Global Warming"
and Global Climate Change."

typically Rush Limbaug and other republican zelots use the phrase
global warming so they can look at cooling trends to debunk all
science. Its an old tactic but wrong.

Global climate change means nothing at all. Climate always changes
globally. Climate has been changing globally for millions of years. So
using global climate change to attempt to say something is really
really dumb. Now, if you say global warming or global cooling you are
actually saying something.

Global warming has and does occur as proven throughout history by
various methods. The same is true for global cooling.

Al Gore and the liberal idiots who are creating false hysteria are
getting rich off the climate change nonsense. They have purposefully
changed their mantra to use global climate change instead of global
warming because nobody can debunk global climate change because it is
real and exists never mind it says nothing about which way it's
trending while they can and HAVE easily debunked man-made global
warming.

I hope this helps.

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

Wilbur Hubbard

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.


My migratory friends are still in Maine - they often wait there until
the hurricane season calms down.

"The almanac's 2008 edition, which goes on sale Tuesday, foresees
plenty of snow across the Northeast, temperatures averaging as much as
3 degrees below normal along most of the Atlantic Coast, and four
major frosts as far south as Florida. The Great Lakes region will also
take a pounding."

Wilbur, I bought "Chapman Knotical Chart No. 1" and "Pitoting and
Dead Reckoning" so far to prepare for when I get my Carolina Skiff
2480DX of Mac 26M - haven't decided on which yet.
I have Beauditch on digital media only.
Thinking about ordering "Sailing For Dumbies."
Do you recommend I add "The Old Farter's Almanac" to my list of "must
gets?" Any others? BTW, I don't garden, but am entertaining the idea
of brewing beer on my boat.
