This week's Wednesday Lunch Paddle is on July 14, 2021 at Riverhead Beach. Let's meet at 10:00 am to avoid a long carry at dead low tide. Our goal will be to get on the water at 10:30 am. On our return, at least, we will have lots of water at the beach.

Location:  Riverhead Beach in Marblehead MA (link to map). The parking lot is on the left side of Ocean Ave, just before the start of the causeway. Parking is $15, cash only.

Registration: To attend, please register using this form which will also add your information to the float plan:

You must be a paid-up NSPN member to join this trip. Your signup information will only be shared with other participants.

Weather:  Light easterly winds becoming 8-10 kt in afternoon, drizzle/fog becoming partly sunny, air temps 60-70 F,  water 65 F, swell 2 ft @ 7 sec

Tides:
2021/07/14    Wed    09:00 AM    -0.04    L
2021/07/14    Wed    3:13 PM    8.72    H

This trip doesn't have a specific level: we'll determine the route based on who shows up, what people want to do, and what the environment wants to do. All properly equipped members are welcome: please bring boats with rigged deck lines, bulkheads, spray skirts, and dress for immersion. If you're not sure if you have a safe vessel or gear, please get in touch via PM and ask.

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. 

We encourage paddlers to make their own independent decision about their comfort level with conditions at the time of the paddle. Please PM me if you have questions or if you haven’t paddled with me before.

Hope to see you there!

My first time paddling with the NSPN, Joe, Sue, Ben, Joyce and Jody and this was my VERY FAVORITE "GENUINE OCEAN PADDLING" EVER!! I'll be looking forward to joining you again asap! Thanks for the great planning Joe and for being such an excellent and patient mentor and coach! I went to sleep last night thinking, "just keep paddling- all will be well".
