Living aboard in a northern clime really sucks regardless of the boat
except for the 3 or 4 months of decent weather in the summer. One of
our lessons learned from taking the boat north is to not arrive in
New England before mid-June and to be back in the Chesapeake headed
south by mid to late September.



We always enjoyed pretty good boating weather in Connecticut from May
through about the middle of October, five to five and a half months,
"mileage" varying. One of my school chums who was a competitive small
sailboat racer used to get started with practice in April.
