That's funny because I have never used it either. I believe that channel 16 is monitored by the coast guard, so I would keep away from that. Other than that maybe someone else can chime in with an opinion.

We are only able to venture out on Saturday. Will be watching the weather closely. Figures only rain on Saturday.

16 is Coast Guard and Hailing.

On 16:
“You, this is me”
“You, this is me”
“You, roll 69, over”
“You, rolling 69, over”

On 69:
“You, this is me”
....

.02:
-monitor 16 always (hailing and line of sight emergencies)
-monitor social channel (when in flotilla)

Dual Monitor (16/69) on most modern radios.

So, while I feel terrible for the guys that can only do Saturday. . . . . I think the best option is Sunday at this point. Weather can still shift, but with warmer temps, more Sun, less chance of rain, and calmer winds. . . . Sunday looks best.

Since I dont trust accuweather or weather.com this far out I spoke to a meteorologist friend of mine and confirmed the likelihood of the forecast changing significantly is minimal.

Hi @0627Devildog Is Saturday a tolerable day for boating? If so, I don't mind going on Saturday itself and follow the paths you have mapped nicely in this discussion. As we have 5 hour drives coming back late Sunday night, making kids go to School on Monday morning will be a considerable challenge.

While I think the wind/surf conditions (while not ideal) will be tolerable. . . . . We are planning on clocking a lot of miles. With a significant chance of heavy rains and temps in mid 60's. . . The prospect of the kids being cold and wet for several hours back to port with little sun and chance of warmth has me leaning to Sunday personally. That said, I am local and can wait til the day prior to decide as both days are open for me. If I was forced to pick a day right now though Id say Sunday.

Additionally, as much as I want to do this as a group you guys really don't need me to do this if you have a higher tolerance for the weather forecasted on Saturday. I have a 23 month old, 6 and 8 yr old going so we are a bit more sensitive to the weather.

We changed our reservations to Saturday night, so we are locked in to do this run on Sunday. We are all looking forward to it.

We are going to come up Saturday afternoon and stay over for the run on Sunday. I want to show my kids around the Palisades Mall. We haven't been up there since '01 when we visited Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown around Halloween. My oldest wasn't even one and the other two weren't even thoughts yet.
