  1. An early launch from Pavillion might not be too difficult and it would be fun to see some of the festival from the water. The cut bridge will probably be up & down all day so Washington St from Grant Circle/128 would be the best way to the waterfront. Here's the schedule for Sat- https://www.maritimegloucester.org/maritime-heritage-day I'm good with Lane's Cove or some other launch as well Thanks for posting this trip Janet Dana
  2. Lobster rolls (nom, nom). Please count me in. Dana
  3. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/private-island-coast-maine-listed Lovely, I wonder if MITA knows about this.
  4. Well, I was finally able to clear the day but it looks like a day too late. Have a great time. See you next year.
  5. Wonderful trip- venue, conditions and not least, the company. Thanks to all and especially Gary for maple syrup & organizing. E Gosling DSigall.MOV IMG_6246.mov
  6. Yes me too (Jim,replied on the seacoast thread- hopefully you saw that) Dana
  7. I see on the this site's member benefits page that NSPN membership gets a discount for MITA membership. Does anyone know how that works in practice? Is there a NSPN coupon code? Could it be...NSPN? Thanks in advance for any help. Dana
  8. Found this update on ipswichma.gov Pavillion Beach is open to non-resident parking again but only on weekdays. Reserved for residents weekends and holidays. Pavilion Beach Rules & Regs 4.2021.pdf
  9. Thanks everyone for the thoughtful advice. I've passed it along with a few links & encouragement to explore nspn.org while they decide. Dana
  10. Rob, Great advice & well put. I’ll pass it along with a link to NSPN and a heads up about the NTSK workshop. Thank you. Dana
  11. My new neighbors who have seen my kayak come & go and noticed gear drying on the line have asked for a starter boat recommendation. I couldn't name a particular kayak off the top of my head but I offered to look into it. From our conversation I know they've looked at some rec kayaks but I would hope to steer them past a bath tub boat and into something they could learn and grow into and enjoy some great paddling opportunities here on the north shore. Any thoughts on a starter boat? Bulkheads of course. Thanks in advance for any advice. Dana
  12. Hi Kyle, I'm interested but would like to hear more about costs & arrangements for food. thanks! Dana
  13. Great! that makes 3 of us. Air temp will be mild for this time of year but the water is very cold- right around 40F. Dress for a swim. You can get a look at forecasted conditions at www.windy.com. Tide predictions at https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov
  14. Sorry you won't be able to join us but I'm sure another opportunity will come along. See you then. Dana
  15. Looks to be a good day. Hope you can make it.
  16. We'll cross paths sooner than later I hope. Have a good weekend.
  17. Sounds good John. I'll double check the weather tomorrow. There's a chance of rain late in the day but I think we'll be off the water by then.
  18. If you're not paddling with Alex in RI on Sunday a Cape Ann possibility might be Lanes Cove into Essex Bay with a lap around Choate (formerly Hog) Island. Launch at 9:30 to ride the tide in at the mouth. Roughly 10', high at noon. Lunch and a walk-about on Choate or the back of Crane Neck. Looks to be a 2' swell meeting the ebb current on the way out which could be entertaining. Winds are forecast to be under 10 kts, westerly in the morning and swinging SSE thru the day. Air temp reaching the mid 40's but the water is as cold as it ever gets so dress accordingly (dry suit a must). About 12 miles RT. Interested? Suggestions/variations? Dana Covid precautions please
