Marblehead, Bakers, Misery

Date: Saturday 8/29

Launch: Riverhead, 9:45 AM (Beach Briefing 9:30 AM) to take advantage of the tides and hopefullly beat any thunderstorms.

Status: Need a minimum of 1 other committed paddlers to confirm. Confirmation will be posted on this thread.


Route: 12 miles: http://www.mappedome...maproute=454182 Depending on conditions, circumnavigate Bakers with stop on Misery ($5 for The Trustees unless you are a member) for lunch and walk. Misery Island is my single favorite lunch stop when kayaking in this area. Beautiful place, beautiful views, great history.

Put-in: Riverhead boat ramp (on the left). This is a state access ramp so there is NO parking charge. Bathroom facilities and a busy beach across the street.


Trip Type and Tone: Level 3. CAM. All stay together. Support each other. Conservative decisions. Should be comfortable with wind and waves.

Bring: Water & lunch, snacks, extra clothing, etc.

Tides: High Tide: Around 11:20 AM Low Tide 5:23 PM
