Delaware River Report / Conditions October 25, 2011

Apologies on the delay of posting – running a bit behind today.

In other news, I’ve decided to become a weatherman. I can think of no other job where you can make constant missteps, predictions and calculations all whilst maintaining employment. That being said, we were expecting a quarter inch of rain overnight, as well as some clouds today, but instead it appears it is going to stay in the low 50’s with bright bright sun – and epic wind. Gusts to 40 MPH are predicted, and from what I see out of my window right now, that seems correct. The sun should heat up the water a little bit, so if the wind dies down at any point, I would expect bugs on the both the West and Main – definitely once the sun drops in the afternoon. We have a picture en route from a pretty decent trip yesterday (stenos again!), and I will post when I can!
