Inverseyourself Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Will decide last minute. I love how that Bread&Roses Bakery is practically on the way to the launch! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Snyder Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 Weather and conditions forecast have remained steady. Western Maine Shelf buoy has water temp at 55.4. See you tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josko Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) I might actually try to make this. Could someone let me know: Is there a decent place for breakfast/pre-paddle meetup nearby? Given the type of trip you have in mind, am I better off in a Taran or Romany Surf? Edited October 18, 2019 by josko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverseyourself Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Surf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Snyder Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 Can't help you with breakfast but can you go wrong with a Surf? By the way although the MSW forecast has remained steady for tomorrow, the offshore buoy is reporting an 8' primary. As they say in politics lately, we'll see what happens...

Ken Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I saw those pictures and the map and was really hoping to make it. Looks like a great day paddle in a scenic and fun (rocks) spot but unfortunately I pulled some muscles in my back and don't think it's a good idea to attend. I'd hate to get five miles down coast and be in pain trying to get back. Write up a trip report and hopefully if the plan works great it will be done again and I can try to make it next time. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverseyourself Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Meet 9:30 but not BIB 9:30, correcto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Snyder Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Ken- give it a try, we'll take turns towing you Josko and Andy, glad to have you! The guy from visitor services that called me back about parking said it's a shorter walk at low tide to launch in the river than the ocean. We'll aim to meet at 9:30. Janet- I start with the .pdf versions of NOAA charts, this is from 13286 which unfortunately is fairly large scale but I don't think anything else covers that section. I copy a section of the chart into a publisher like program then make sure to grab the scale while I'm still in the same enlargement. I paste the scale and compass rose where they'll be out of the way and save as a .pdf. I'd be happy to walk you through it by phone. I've been having Staples print and laminate but I'm experimenting with printing myself on waterproof paper. I'll show you. New roster: Me, Janet, Prudence, Paul, Andy, Josko, maybe Ken.
