[Rhodes22-list] NC and Mid Atlantic coastal Weather

[Bill Berner]

Hey all you guys who live between New Bern and NY.

What is the typical weather (if there is such a thing) on the coastal
waters from late October to mid November.

A friend of mine is in the process of finalizing the purchase of a Hans
Christian 39 in New Bern, and has asked me to crew with him for the
passage up to NY.  We would depart NB either 10/22 or 11/17.

He will be hiring a prof. skipper. He and I would crew.

I see the trip with a coastal route at about 440 nm.  Averaging 5 kn
underway 24 hr/day at just less than 4 days. 4 hour watches w/ 4 on- 8
off, or 6 hr. watches 6 on -12 off.

What should I expect weather and wind wise.

Also, I'm interested in overall opinions of the prospect by those
familiar with the waters.  

Thanks.

Must add that the quick pin with the button failed on my genny.  I was
fortunate in that I check the pins before casting off.  Noticed that the
pin
was bent.  I decided to remove it to examine what had happened.
Apparently
the compression of the forestay on the pin crushed it.  I would never
use
these again other than as a quick set until I put in a proper clevis,
but
never for sailing.
