Don't think I can start before June - have to finish the new house and move it. Its only taken me 20 years to build but the wife thinks that is a bit slow. Then we want to take a break in August as there are some events back here to deal with. The end of the season is all about the weather. Last year I hauled on Oct 12, and the last couple of weeks were getting kind of rainy, cold, unpredictable, unpleasant sometimes. From that we said maybe next year, stop at the end of September. But of course that will be in the Chesapeake, not Maine, so maybe I want to go a little longer? Sounding like Maine in June/July, skip most of August, then LIS in Sept, take 1st week of Oct to get to Annapolis or thereabouts, then haul.
