Message: [QUOTE="Excalibur, post: 3255113, member: 62"] My family had a 28' sailboat and we would often take it from Noank to Block or Montauk. In hindsight that probably wasn't a great idea. You can cancel your trip if the weather turns before you are leaving, but once you're there, you have to get home. We had a couple of very nasty trips back because the weather turned late in the weekend. It's no fun. The last one was when I was a Senior in High School. Went out on Saturday of Labor Day weekend with a forecast for perfect weather all weekend and no wind. Woke up on Sunday with 20 knots out of the east and a Monday forecast for 30+. Tried to leave on Sunday. Made it a quarter mile and turned around. Had to leave the boat anchored in the harbor for a week and go get it the following weekend. Mom made dad sell the boat the next year. [/QUOTE]
