Oh yes, I'll second that. Went out for a ten mile spin on the river
after work tonight in the little boat. It's been cool this week but
OK on the water with a sweatshirt and light jacket. Tomorrow we'll go
for a ride on the Grand Banks.

Why didn't they test it in Upper Quebec or Newfoundland? A much shorter
route from the UK with similar temperatures.

Halifax is the Naval headquarters for the Atlantic Fleet and they will be
working with one of our destroyer escorts. They do plan to head to
Newfoundland after the four day stay here.

We had a blizzard on Monday, a Nor'Easter with 20 cm of snow yesterday,
and
now we hear that we may get that storm that's brewing stateside.
I should pat myself on the back for buying that snowblower.

Good timing. And it looks like pretty cold temperatures you guys are
expecting.

3 deg F here at 1:30 AM...

The Brits sent over their new fleet amphibious flagship 'HMS Albion' for
frigid weather testing. It arrived yesterday for a four day visit and then
planned to travel to Newfoundland and north up along the Labrador coast for
another 6 days.
Cold they wanted...cold they got!



can see a bunch of british sailors saying 'i joined the navy for
WHAT????'

Just checked the National Weather Service forecast for our area up north.

The marine forecast:

A POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS WINTER STORM WILL DEVELOP SOUTH OF NEW
ENGLAND SATURDAY NIGHT...AND THEN TRACK SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET SUNDAY
MORNING. VERY STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 65 MPH
ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THESE STRONG WINDS WILL LIKELY
GENERATE A STORM SURGE OF 2.0 TO 2.5 FT SUNDAY MORNING...ALONG WITH SEAS
OF
25 TO 30 FEET ON TOP OF THE SURGE.


The snow forecast:

SNOW WILL TAPER OFF EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 2
FEET
ARE EXPECTED OVER A LARGE AREA...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS COAST...AS WELL AS CAPE COD AND THE
ISLANDS.

It's times like this that I really appreciate Florida in the winter.

Yep. And I'll be back on the boat down on the Cape. Wayne - are you
planning on cruising the GB up north for the summer?

========================================

Yes. I'm planning to retire at the end of April and start heading
north with the GB sometime in May. That's going to be our "summer
home" for the foreseeable future.

Let me know if you and Mrs E would enjoy doing part of that trip.
We're trying to get some friends and neighbors to join us along the
way and the more the merrier.
