Solstice paddle update !
The Solstice is a traditional NSPN event . There are three paddles: a level 3 Trip, a level 2+ Trip, and a level 2 Trip.
All trips leave from Riverhead Beach, Marblehead.
Level 3/3+ Trip
Leaves earliest , is out the longest, goes the farthest.
Beach briefing at 10:00 AM
Level 2+ Trip
Is in between, traditionaly goes to Salem Willows and back.
Something for everybody!
Beach briefing at 10:30
Level 2 Trip
Stays in protected waters, usually around the Dolliber cove area, and leaves latest.
Beach briefing at 11:00 am
All trips will be under the CAM model
As was the plan last year, we will avoid large groups on the water, so each level trip will be prepared to break into smaller groups/ "pods" , preferably @ 8 paddlers each group. That will be sorted out during the beach briefing. Be ready for the day (dressed for the water , with boat and personal gear ready) at the time of the beach briefing.
Paddles return 3 PM-ish, after which people get dressed, square away boats and gear , and filter across the road to the pavilion on Devereaux beach for the Grand Potluck. Bring good food and strong beverages!
Looking forward to seeing everybody!

Elijah arrived @12:30 in the afternoon on March 10. Mommy and baby are doing fine!! Ross (AKA Papa dos) -
So my wife is at the LL Bean outlet with my daughter the other day. As they walked past the kayak section she runs up to one the boats, points at it, and says... "Dada!!"
Thats my girl!

Looks like I won't be able to head out till after 3:00. I will probably head to Salisbury beach as it will be low tide and there are decent waves out there at that time. We'll get together sometime and you can try out my WW boat in the surf. It is a blast. Have fun and be safe tomorrow.

Emilie and I are planning to arrive at Jenness around 9:30. We'll need to pull out of the water around 2:30 for an afternoon/evening engagement. We may put in at Rye Harbor and paddle over to the beach.
Hey there. I was out there this evening and the waves have grown and predictions are that they will be getting bigger so be careful. I brought my short boat as I figured my long boat would just be too much work. If you stay to the north part of the beach the waves are sometimes a little more tame but the shore is slightly rocky (not too bad though). They are also fewer surfers out there. Probably not a bad idea to put in at Rye as parking is sometimes a problem. I may join you in my short boat.

Jenness Beach @ 4:00

BUT did anyone catch some surf today?
Absolutely! Beautiful evening of surfing with Emilie and Tyson! Moon watching over head, sunset obscured by the dark western looming clouds. Did my first endo (not as scary as they look)! Caught some Really nice waves.

I'll most likely be there Saturday.
What time on Sat?

Where is that beach? Hey you the Ross I met last night? Now I know who Papa yurtman is (?)
Yes that was me. Jenness beach is a great spot for surfing just have to be respectful of the "real" surfers and bring some change for the parking meters. Its up 1A NH in Rye. I'll be out there rain or shine.

Jennes Beach 9/17 @ around 4:30 or 5. I'll be out there having a blast.

Surf was decent last evening. I'll be up at Jennes Beach @ around 4pm (after the Pats game). Post here if interested.

Sue,
If I understand your question correctly we'll all be launching from Jennes beach and sticking around the area

Don't know what the conditions will be like but I'll be out there aprox. 4:00.

Looking to combine with 1-2 paddlers (my vehicle can carry three) to reduce carbon emissions and filled parking spots. I live in Beverly (Ma).
Bob, give a call @ 914-489-2673 about sharing a ride. Call anytime tonight I'll be up late.

Doug and gang, looks like a great trip. I'm planning on joining you all for this paddle. Bob, I would be interested in car pooling and sharing expense. I live 5 minutes off of 95 so its right on the way. I'll check your post for confirmation.

Past couple of days surf has been outstanding. I'll be out there on Friday after work @ 4:00.
Ross

I'll be out there on Sunday @ around 4:00 to see if there is anything to play around in. Should be some surf and the max. current will be flowing under the bridge at around 5:00 or so. A level 3 paddle considering surf and current.

MTI makes children's PFD's, Kokatat makes paddling jackets and the Super Nova suit for kids.
I can't help with the baby monitor/VHF but as far as the day hatch modifcations, go for it, it's better than putting her in the rear hatch.
Would a Baby Bjorn interfere with your forward stroke?
Michael looks like you've been doing your research

Ross,
Saw this at the paddle-fest in Cambridge with Blaine and Sunny last winter:

Note the toddler, and the dog!
The movie was excellent and made me want to read Farley's books. Actually for me it wasn't the water that gave pause, but the biting bugs they encountered.
Bob
yeah that looks exciting, an author whose books I have read! thanks for the post!

Looking for combination Waterproof vhf radio/baby monitor. Does this technology exist? Can someone build it? Do they make infant sized dry suits? Are there Coast regs against outfitting the day hatch as a second seat? Will I ever paddle again?
Ross

Back to the original question... A good idea and yes I would be willing to put some time into helping out. Anyone else?
