Manchester to Misery

Sunday, August 15

launch at 9:30 AM; arrive at 8:45 AM

We'll launch from picture-postcard Manchester

Harbor and head out to the Miseries, one of New England's storied offshore island

spots, via a half-mile crossing. Conditions permitting, it's an easy

taste of semi-open ocean for level 2 paddlers looking to move up. There's a cute cove between Great and Little Misery, complete

with the remains of an old wreck, a great place to play and practice. Beautiful hills and views beckon for lunch from both islands.  If conditions are suitable, we can send a party around the outside of the islands for even

more open ocean experience.  If conditions are generally tougher but still do-able, we will skip the crossing and stick to the mainland coast west from Manchester.
