eneumeier Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I miss our full moon paddles! Launch from the boat ramp, Gloucester harbor - The Boulevard, AKA the Greasy Pole (toward downtown a bit from the Fisherman's statue) BnB time: 5:30 PM - FIRM! Be ready to paddle or paddle fast to catch up. We need to be near Norman's Woe to see the moonrise over the water Moonrise: 7:17 PM - should be pretty with the sunset behind us (I know the actual full moon is not until Tuesday, but Sunday evening is a better time for this trip.) Proposed route: Paddle out the west side of Gloucester Harbor, toward Magnolia. Return route might be via the east side of the harbor. Sunset: 7:54 PM, Nautical Sunset: 9:08 PM - we should be back around then, so it won't be a really late night Evening low tide: 5:07 PM Evening high tide: 11:30 PM Post interest here. I'm going regardless. :-) Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terese pawletko Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 what is approximate distance? thanks! Terese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eneumeier Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 It is about 3 NM to Norman's Woe rock, and another NM to Kettle Island. So figure 6-8 NM, round trip. A bit more if people want to go into Magnolia harbor. Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eneumeier Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Conditions do look great. See whoever can make it! The weather temp may get down to near 60 on our return. Liz Edited August 6, 2017 by eneumeier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terese pawletko Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I always tend to be on early side so if I am not there I am not going to make it (hard to know what Sunday traffic will be coming from Maine can get pretty backed up). Thx for setting this up Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
