Joseph Berkovitz Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) Dear NSPNistas, This post announces NSPN Wednesday Lunch Paddle #4, on May 22. This week's edition will launch from West Beach in Beverly (https://goo.gl/maps/Cyvj3TaWvVRXv2LE9). The trip will be geared to the desires of the participants. The forecast for the sound suggests a 10-15 kt NNW wind at the start of the trip, dropping to light and variable in the afternoon. So the location gives us some nice options for paddling in the lee of the cliffs through Manchester towards Magnolia, or changing that plan if the wind drops more quickly. Temps expected a bit over 50 F, with sun and then increasing clouds. Let's meet at 10 am sharp, and ready to launch around 10.20 am. Then we'll have a beach briefing, make a plan together based on what people feel like doing, and get on the water, hopefully around 10.30 am. Manchester tides: LT - 9.03a; HT - 3.05p. With the water temp barely cracking 50 F, please bring drysuits. As usual, fully rigged boats with deck lines, bulkheads, spray skirts are necessary to make this a safe trip. NOTE: The Wednesday Lunch Paddles are cooperative adventures, not guided trips. Each participant is responsible for her/his own safety. Don’t assume the trip initiators are smarter, stronger, better at rough water, more attractive, or more skilled paddlers than you are. For more information, see this description of our trip philosophy from the NSPN web site. A waiver/float plan will be created at the launch, so there's no need to commit in advance. It's always 100% OK to show up, decide you don't like the conditions or the trip, and opt out. If you have any questions, or if you haven’t paddled with Bob Levine or myself before, please get in touch with @rylevine or @Joseph Berkovitz by private message before the event so we can touch base! If you're interested in coming, it's nice if you let us know by posting on this thread. There is no calendar entry for this particular trip. Other conversation (including stating your interest in going) can also happen on this thread. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Jim Snyder Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I was hoping to visit The Maidens but this will be our last chance to use West Beach for a while and maybe this time we'll get past the Rams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue H. Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hi Folks, I have to withdraw again this week ...I just received a text that the paving co., who was to supposed to install the driveway last week, is coming today. Disappointed about the paddle, but excited about the prospect of using the driveway and finally being able to pull into the new garage! Have a sun filled paddle, Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
