My brothers, Bro-in-Law, and two nephews were down mid last April, and my brother from Conn was estatic being able to take Raggedy out for a cruise and our fishing trip. He is definately jealous of my near year round boating, although this year with the high consistant winds have made going offshore (yeah i know, some of you don't consider 10 miles offshore to apply), but it is to me when i'm bucking 4 to 5 foot seas. But on the flip side, its going to be in the 90's all week, so the cooler and more pleasurable temps are over until next Oct. Enjoy your season, and be safe! duf

But I may take Friday...looks like low 70's. Waiting to see if another Piscatiqua river meeting is going to be planned. Missed it last year due to a minor engine problem...lost reverse.

A friend of mine describes spring weather in NE as follows: March, March, March... June. Pretty accurate if you ask me! Dave - 1983 Outrage 22
