Help on packing!

[Bassy]

Okay, I'm headed to my Ohio River trip this week and I don't have a clue what to bring as far as clothing. I'm checking the forecast and it looks a bit chilly with some chances of rain over the weekend(I guess the bikini is out). Guys, help me out and ask your wives, girlfriends, mothers,etc. What do I bring? If it were up to me I'll be bringing way too much! I hope you have some advice for me. I am so sooo excited!!! Oh My Goodness!!<br />Barging Bassy

Medium weight warm jacket, couple sets of wind pants/jogging suits, shorts, pants, skivvies, rain jacket? 3 pairs of shoes- rain-casual-and 4"steel stilet...never mind, make that 2 pairs of shoes.<br />A light pair of gloves if you sre one to drink your morning coffee on the patio.<br /><br />If you were going to Wisconsin I would suggest....<br />Sorel snow pak boots, long johns, insulated bibs, down ski parka, fur hat.

Looks like highs in the mid to high 70's next week. Thursday night, Friday and Friday night just a chance of rain....say around 30%. Nights will be in the low 50's to high 40's. This forcast was from the NWS outta' Pittsburgh for the area your going to...should be close.<br /><br />Gets cool quick when the sun goes down so warm cloths will feel good in the evenings. <br /><br />We went over to our local marina last night for the annual end of season boat burning/party. Beautiful night....full moon. But cool. Remember I'm a little further north than where your launching from.<br /><br />Hope the venture is a fun time for ya'. If you fish, the smallies are up and hitting and the hybirds are coming in also.....lottsa' shad.<br /><br />Maybe SBN can add also since he's down around that area.<br /><br />Have a great time Bassy!!

Roscoe, you pack like I pack. Practical. Sounds good to me. Yep, no heels for this lady. Gloves were something I didn't think of. Good idea!<br />Bassy

Thanks OBJ. That's what I'm planning for. I'm glad I can bring my shorts. Only pants after the sun goes down is great for me! Thanks for the well wishes for my trip. I am so ready to go its not even funny!<br />Bassy

I bring one bag if possibly. Have my extra girl things in. Something comfy to sleep in.. I also bring extra money to buy clothes that I need there, just incase. It's not fun having to pack abunch of things that you may not even wear.. Plus if you loose a bag. That is not fun...

Bassy, I'm really happy for you. I know how much you've been looking forward to this trip. You deserve it.<br /><br />Don't forget the life jacket, sun glasses and baseball cap or hat. Oh yeah and the bug spray.

All you will need is your bikini

Re: Help on packing!

Spinner has it. My wife prefers a hooded sweatshirt this time of year. The breeze in the morning and evening still has a bite to it. She can unzip her sweatshirt as it gets warmer and then lose it all together as she basks in her flannel shirt. Yes, like most women they have to have long sleeves during the day when the men are down to shirt sleeves. I guess it has something to do wit fall. The leaves should start turning a little this week for extra scenery on the trip. Let us know your locations each day so we can track your movements for national security reasons. Hope you have a great cruise.
