The Peconic Puffin

A blog about a group of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts, and their friends. Established 1993.

Weather.com (the Weather Channel online) says there's a chance of a nor'easter hitting Peconica on Sunday.   They're also calling for highs of 37 degrees on Sunday.  

My usual cutoff these days is 38 degrees, but it's been over a week since I've sailed or paddled (okay five days but it's GONNA be a week come Saturday) so I may have to call Peconic Jeff and appeal to his inability to say No to any water time.

Let's see what the wind and wave gods bring.

    Yeah, I have my similarly desperate eyes on the weekend storm. Supposed to be 36 and snowy in Bostonica, which would be below my usual cut-off, too. We’ll see.

    I’m glad the Wolf is back on the water since he sails down to 32, but I’ll hope for an inclusive 40 degrees. Looks like a nice outgoing tide Sunday afternoon for North Sea Rd. C’mon wind!
    Hey James, I see you’ve moved to the Northeast, welcome to our wintry climes! Are you missing Florida yet?

    You guys – and my mates who surf up in Maine – are hardcore. How you get motivated for freezing, grey, gusty, snow-filled days is beyond me.

    Chimp fight! Well a spat, really. When Chimply Lord Scotworth, Earl of Kielt (Scott)rued the lack of weekend noreaster, Christopher Lord Chimpleton, Duke of All He Surveys (CD) counseled equanimity and appreciation. Lord Scotworth responded with a call for personal wind, dimming the sun of Lord Chimpleton’s day. Leave it to Sir Hulse of Rico to bring the warmth!
    Meanwhile, wind Thursday, gentlemen. What say ye?
