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,
winter.

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

It's no country for girliemen, but if you're the least bit rugged, sailing
can be great until the middle of October...and sometimes later.
Lots of wind this time of year.

Those of you who are in this part of the world and can pick up a "Points
East" can read the story of my long weekend cruise the last weekend of
October a year ago. Anybody remember how it blew? I think I proved that
I'm at least a little bit rugged that weekend simply because I had a hell of
a good time. First time I ever had anyone call the Coast Guard about me.
They told her, "Don't worry, there's nobody out there right now."

The story will appear in the "Last Word" section of the next (October)
issue.

Might just be an early winter on the NE coast this year as the
migratory birds/ducks/geese/loons are already starting to show up on
the Chesapeake ... about 2-3 weeks earlier than 'usual'. Must be
colder than normal in the north this year to get all the birds moving
so early.

Yup, Momma threw the big switch last week. Was 90+ one day, in the 50s
that night.
