Level 3 trip that especially welcomes new kayak campers, and a reunion for those of us who don't see each other often enough. Here's a great opportunity for you paddlers who would like to try kayak-camping without the pesky bugs (beware of ticks!). This will be the 7th annual trip to Jewell, which has 2 large side-by-side campsites and a latrine. We typically have 10 or so paddlers, but an upper limit has not been established.
The Common Adventure Model (CAM) will be adopted
The SUGGESTED itinerary is as follows:
FRIDAY: Arrive at Sandy Point Beach at Cousins Island (Yarmouth) on Friday, May 24, in plenty of time for a 10:30am launch (HT-1055). If you are new to kayak camping, you may need extra time packing your boat, so plan on arriving no later than 0930. CW Cousins I. to Crow and/or Bangs for lunch and potential MITA/NSPN stewardship, then to Jewell campsite(s). Total Nautical Miles ~8
SATURDAY: Agenda TBD-bring your ideas for a day paddle or island activities (HT-1148). Prior trips have included Whaleboat/Little Whaleboat, Potts Harbor, Greens, Eagle, Great Diamond geocaching, Jewell's WW1 and WW2 military installations, and general camaraderie/gourmet foods around the camp fire.
SUNDAY: Back to cars via ???? (HT-1241), or spend another nite, paddle back Mon Holiday
