The tides are not as ideal for a morning put in, so we're thinking lunchtime put-in will have us paddling the last of flow and into slack and ebb. On the Sunday return from Jewell, a late morning put in will allow us to ride the tide back to Cousins Island.
The plan for the four day trip is as follows:
Here’s our thoughts:
Thursday 9/20 (High Tide @ 2:47pm): Group #1 beach briefing around 12or 1pm, launch from Sandy Point on Cousins Island to an interim island such as Bangs or Crow for snack/lunch (we can discuss stewardship if there is interest) and then continue on to Jewell.
Friday 9/21 (High Tide @ 3:43pm): Group #2 (same as above). Group #1 is open for a local paddle or relaxing and exploring Jewell Island. Our thought is that a designated contact from Group #1 will keep in touch with a designated contact in Group #2 via cell phone or radio.
Saturday 9/22: Day is open for a local paddle or relaxing and exploring Jewell island.
Sunday 9/23 (High Tide @ 11:30am): Return to mainland, mid-morning launch around 11 or so.
