  • there's really only one thing that matters
    • Hmmm, don't know how to plan for that....
      • If you happen to be in western LIS at the time call me

  • Start of Maine season
    • Don't think I can leave that early, won't have my act together
      • It isn't 68 on the water in May in Maine...
        • So right. Don't get spring confused with fall on the coast of Maine.
        • OK, gotcha. Was going on MDI climate data.
          • Actually MDI climate is quite varied...

    • We could extend the season a bit and do LIS mostly in Sept.
      • Month of August
      • Ha! If you think the marinas in Maine are not budget priced
        • Yeah, afraid of that. But we have an anchor....

  • Only change I would make is head south later.
    • Disagree -- September early October is best for LIS
      • why are you disagreeing with Tom?
        • Dunno -- maybe I should have had another cup of coffee
