We will be doing a Level 1 Ocean Introduction trip this Saturday in Portsmouth. The plan is to launch from Odiorne to paddle under Wentworth bridge at the very beginning of the ebb. We will take a discussion break and then ride the ebb to Frost Point beach (just inside the breakwall) where we will get out and observe / discuss ocean conditions. There we will take opportunities to journey outside the wall for a bit, or stay in the harbor and work on paddling skills, before heading back to the boat ramp.
Trip is expected to be around 3 miles. We need to be ready to launch at 9:30am, and return around 1:00pm. Temps in the mid-60's with showers possible, so dress on the warmer side and bring snacks and a warm beverage if possible. We won't be stopping for lunch, so make sure your snacks are portable (eat in the boat) and plentiful enough.
Parking costs around $5, and you should reserve a space ahead of time by clicking this link.
If you have questions or are interested in participating, please email robert@nspn.org. Loaner boats may be available with advanced notice for those that need them. Please let me know sooner rather than later.
Any club members that want to assist with this trip, please PM me so we can discuss logistics.
