Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground to Ogunquit
Launching from Cape Neddick Campground, 63 Shore Dr, Cape Neddick, ME 03902. Meet at 9:30 am, beach briefing at 10 and be prepared to Launch at 10:15 am. Please come prepared to pay the parking fee of $10.
Reminders regarding club posted trips:
1) Participants must be a club member and have signed the club wavier. Saying you are "going" in calendar is not the same as registering, but please indicate your intention.
Register for this event here https://forms.gle/pnM7VsYgzGwVStZu8.
2) The usual kit needed, an ocean kayak with bulkheads and decklines, a PFD, spray skirt, hydration, sunscreen, food and hat, or helmet if you want to play in rocks. If you have a VHF radio, tow belt, extra paddle and kits to repair boats and bodies, bring them along, but not required. The water temp is around 57 degrees, depending on where you look, so dress for immersion, fully dry tops with an insulating layer and heavy neoprene pants or drysuits are your best bet. Many surf sites are recommending 5mm or above for wet suits at this temperature.
Option #1: North to Perkins Cove (approx. 9 nautical miles round trip).
Option #2: North to Perkins Cove and continue on to Ogunquit Beach, with possible surfing (adds an additional 2 nautical miles, 11 nm round trip).
Option #3: Add to either trip above a short trip out to Cape Neddick Light, 1.5 nm from the launch and then head north toward Perkins Cove or beyond to Ogunquit Beach.
Upon return to our launch site in the afternoon, we will have an early dinner at the Cape Neddick Lobster Pound Restaurant. Folks would be responsible to pay for the dinner of their choice. Here is the link to their menu: https://www.capeneddicklobsterpound.com/menu
As always, this trip will be weather dependent, choose “following” in trip posting for potential updates. As of this posting, here is what Windy is forecasting:

Reason for change-of-date: The Cape Neddick Lobster Pound is hosting a 50 person bus tour on Saturday evening and they would not be able to accommodate us all arriving at the same time. They have requested we change the day to Sunday in order to provide us with the best experience. Actually, the weather forecast is better on Sunday, so hopefully this works in everyone's favor !
Looking forward to seeing you there ! Sue
