(Yeah, we know it's the day after the "real" full moon.)
Enjoy sunset over Gloucester Harbor and a picnic supper on Dogbar breakwater while the (nearly) full moon rises. This trip is for level 2 paddlers who want to paddle at night. We will launch from Pavilion Beach (Greasy Pole) on Stacy Boulevard, Gloucester then browse around the inner harbor, Smith Cove and Rocky Neck. After a “comfort break” at Niles Beach we will continue past the Eastern Point mansions and land at Lighthouse beach. After securing our kayaks we will walk out Dogbar Breakwater for our picnic supper and to view the (nearly) full moon rising at 8:51 PM. We will return by a direct route past Ten Pound Island. Coast Guard mandated lighting required. You will also need good footwear and clothes to put on during our supper break.
