A delightful ramble including many of the usual rocky spots along the Marblehead and Swampscott coasts and some distance paddling also. Very mild conditions but some play-worthy action near various outcrops especially the Off Rock area.

I suspect Prudence has some good pictures because, well, Prudence!

Your suspicion was correct, Joe,  bc, well, documentation...


Lots of duck families in the calm water at the beginning of the day...

So glad David is back, and I know he's happy to be surrounded by rocks and not those Florida alligators!

Not a lot of super action.  After Joe examined one slot that I thought might hold out hope for some action/disaster shots, he wisely took a pass.  So disappointing!

It was a lovely day with splendid company.  Thanks for arranging, Joe!
