rylevine Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Dear NSPNistas, This post announces NSPN Wednesday Lunch Paddle #5, on May 29. This week's edition will meet at Pavilion Beach in Gloucester near the Greasy Pole. The trip will be geared to the desires of the participants, and launch location may be adjusted so on-time arrival is required. The forecast is for 10kt E wind (as of Sunday). Temps expected in the 50s F, with rain. 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: HT - 8.08a; LT - 2:14p. 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rylevine Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Forecast for winds shifted N and NNE, so should be easier to find wind shadows. NOAA spot forecast around Norman's Woe. Similar along Eastern Point: Wednesday N wind 8 to 12 kt. Scattered showers, mainly before 8am. Patchy fog before 9am. Seas 3 to 4 ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
