14 OCTOBER. NEW HAMPSHIRE: CLIMATE & FISHERY

I am a tuna fisherman in the Gulf of Maine. While the fishing was ok for the season our average water temp was down 10-15 degrees F. For the summer, we would normally get 3-4 weeks of 70+ degree water, we were instead lucky to get 2 weeks of 65 degree water. The sea temp would back off to 55 degrees as soon as a NW wind came into play.--Joshua T Shea <wrench@chi.teds.net>
