SW WINDS 5 TO 10 KT. WAVES 1 FT OR LESS. PATCHY FOG IN THE
MORNING WITH VSBY 1 TO 3 NM.
High of 84, partly cloudy...oh boy. Seems like I'll get in at least one more dinghy sailing session this year!
BTW if you'd like to get out on or near the water, sounds like the Gowanus Dredgers have a pretty full calendar for October - I'm just going to take a couple of excerpts from an email they sent. This weekend's fun -
October 6 and 7, Saturday and Sunday (2:00pm-6:00pm)
----------------------------------
Gowanus Open House NY
Explore the Gowanus estuary, canoeing at your own pace and enjoy
discovering the canal's unique mix of wildlife and urban waterway
infrastructure. Meet at the 2nd St. launch site, off Bond Street at
the Gowanus Canal. For details, visit: www.gowanuscanal.org
October 6, Saturday (1:00pm-9:00pm)
----------------------------------
Party for the People on Gowanus Shoreline
The Yard at Carroll / Canal will assemble multiple community
organizations and feature performers of poetry and music with fun for
the entire family. For details, call 917.623-4388
They've also got an interesting film screening coming up next Thursday, October 11th, and then you've got another chance on 10/29 - full details here.
BTW - unpaid commercial plug alert! - if your tastes run a little more to Champagne and classic vessels, I do have to mention that my old place of employment, Classic Harbor Lines, continues to offer motor yacht & schooner trips through the fall. Boy, will I ever miss that end of season delivery trip. Sigh. I'm so glad I got a few of those Albany to NYC runs under my belt - they were always just grand...oh, but what I was saying was that there are still a few weeks left in their season, and fall can just be the best time for sailing on NY Harbor. Good wind, warm light, and they've always got blankets & cider if you get chilled. Visit their website Sail-NYC.com for more info!
