A cruise is no fun in the rain. A one week delay is terrible for turn out but sometimes we have no choice. I will look at the weather Saturday and make a decision.

IMO a two week delay would probably be better. That allows people to arrange for that Day off, for those that work on weekends. I think the reason alot of people fall out when it's a one week delay, is because most people's schedules are already out for the week, so it's more difficult to get said day off.

Actually scratch two week delay because that's the day of F:T's BBQ. Let's shoot for May 24th if it rains this Sunday.

Mothers day is in March in England (where I'm from).

Citymunky, I seem to remember something about you having family in England? ...or am I mistaken.

DavidV - Thanks for the early warning.

Just kidding, I understand.

If enough people drop out due to mothers day then maybe the date should be moved further back.

I'm at the 'puter so obviously I didn't attempt a Skyline run this morning

Next weekend I believe we're taking in a foster dog, plus Mother's Day so we're out.
