Paul Sylvester Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Planning an Isle of Shoals trip from Rye NH but the date is variable as I usually make my own schedule. Plan on a weekday this July/Aug. Leave from Rye harbor by 8:30, am back by 3-4 PM. I am looking for interest from people that are ready for a long boring crossing of 6-7 miles with time at and around the islands once there. You must be ready and well equipped for the open ocean and all that involves. There will be some vetting. Please post here or PM me if interested and which weeks or days might be best. thxs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Gassin Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Hi Paul, I am interested if we can make the date work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethS Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I am interested, I have done this trip twice before and really enjoyed it, would love to do it again. A Monday or Tuesday would work for me if we are looking at weekdays. Weekend days are good too. July is getting pretty busy but August is pretty open.

eneumeier Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I have been wanting to do this trip. A friend spends a week on Star Island every year so paddling out to say hi would be fun. I could only go after August 7, however. If this is going to be in August, I'll narrow down dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethS Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I would have to go after August 7 also. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Sylvester Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 8/19/19 is the first day back from the Lobster Buoy Maine trip. We are both on that trip and it might be a bit much to be gone for a long weekend and then do a shoals trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabend Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I am interested. Am around until August 17th. Gone for a week and then able to do it after that too. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Sylvester Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) 8/12/19 Isle of Shoals from Rye Harbor. BIB at 8:30 am and back by 3-4 PM. Looking for that perfect summer day and will do an alternate inland paddle if needed or delay the trip to another day. This is a level 4 trip based on the crossing and exposure. Wind, weather and swells may cancel this. We will seek to maintain up to 3.5 knots and stay as a group. Please have all safety equipment and a properly outfitted sea kayak. If I don't know you please answer a few questions: Have you done 2 or 3 14 mile days this season? Have any medical concerns or liabilities that would hinder you on the crossings? Are you comfortable in level 4 conditions? Any ACA or BCU certs? Capped at 8 max but dependent on other leaders signing up and the strength of the group. Please PM me any answers as I am vetting so we can have the best experience possible. thxs Edited July 24, 2019 by Paul Sylvester max limit 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Sylvester Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 If you are interested you need to sign up on the calendar so we have an idea on the participants and we can plan this. Looking for four minimum for safety. If this falls through I will find a Saturday or Sunday or go solo. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Berkovitz Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hi Paul — I’ll be heading cross country by 9/21 so I’m afraid I have to drop out at this point. Have fun! joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Sylvester Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Set for Saturday 9/21/19. Leave Rye Harbor by 8:30 am. I'll put it on the calendar for sign ups. If we have not had some contact I will vet you as this is a committed trip and not to be taken lightly. As we get closer I will watch the weather and sea state and make a final determination. If we cancel I will plan a back up paddle nearby. More to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
