dsigall Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 If you're not paddling with Alex in RI on Sunday a Cape Ann possibility might be Lanes Cove into Essex Bay with a lap around Choate (formerly Hog) Island. Launch at 9:30 to ride the tide in at the mouth. Roughly 10', high at noon. Lunch and a walk-about on Choate or the back of Crane Neck. Looks to be a 2' swell meeting the ebb current on the way out which could be entertaining. Winds are forecast to be under 10 kts, westerly in the morning and swinging SSE thru the day. Air temp reaching the mid 40's but the water is as cold as it ever gets so dress accordingly (dry suit a must). About 12 miles RT. Interested? Suggestions/variations?

John Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'm in, Dana. Sounds like Alex is not available on Sunday, and this paddle involves a lot less driving. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsigall Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 Sounds good John. I'll double check the weather tomorrow. There's a chance of rain late in the day but I think we'll be off the water by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air temp will be mild for this time of year but the water is very cold- right around 40F. Dress for a swim. You can get a look at forecasted conditions at www.windy.com.

Joseph Berkovitz Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I have some transportation issues today so am paddling out of Marblehead but it should be a perfect day for this trip, so enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
