What are everyones thoughts on this weekends Weather. I am supposed to
be bringing by new boat North this weekend, but am unsure of the
Weather. The Boat is a 36 trojan and I am headed from Barnegat NJ to
MA.... What are your thoughts would you go this weekend. or wouldyou
wait.. Scattered showers possibely thunderstorms 30% wind 5-10 Seas
3-4?
This is for Friday and that would be the NJ to NYC leg?


What would you do?

Thanks


This time of year is very unpredictable on the east coast and particularly
as you approach MA.
In general, the seas are usually still somewhat heavy until June, although
occasionally you can also find them flat calm particularly near the coast.
If you are going through the Cape Cod Canal, the typical rule of thumb is
that whatever it's like on one side, it will be the opposite on the other.

This weekend is too far away to predict actual conditions. Right now it's
cold and rainy here in MA.
If the disturbance re-develops offshore, as is very common, it could easily
become a minor nor'easter traveling up the coast by the weekend. Or, it may
blow out to sea and be nice. Who knows?

What would I do?

I'd make flexible plans. If the weather and seas look good on the morning
of a particular leg of your trip, go for it. If conditions deteriorate to
an uncomfortable state, pull into a port and wait it out.
