Have to play it according to the weather but it looks like Sunday could be a day for a south shore downwinder...short period N wind swell and 25 - 30 mph NNW or WNW. Launch and landing spots we can decide day of. Looking to do a 10 miler or so...or maybe a couple of shorter ones. If you don't have a DW board my 12-6 is available and does OK downwind.

I was just about to pose this same question.... was going to stay in RI but with the NW wind, there won't be any ideal routes.  If you're still planning something, let me know, I would make the ride up, or leave my car at the end.  Need to see what my new Vec can handle.  Might have 1 or 2 guys down here that would join.

Your forgetting about the temp and wind chill... :o

On another note...
How about if you wait till Monday.... and run the CCBC route...  ;D

Sorry...my head was in a fog all weekend. These damn weather systems one after the other do a number on me. Being a barometer sucks.

Creek, don't you know they didn't have weather maps in the Paleolithic era??   :D

Every weather site I look at says north wind and 40F on Sunday.
Downwinder might be the ticket.

Although, surf for Sunday also looks to be good also!....
