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?
