This week's Wednesday Lunch Paddle is on August 11, 2021 at Pavilion Beach in Gloucester (link to map). Please be there no later than 9:30 am and be ready to get on the water at 10 am. If you need more time, please come before 9:30.

(Note: do not go to Pavilion Beach in Ipswich by mistake!)

Location:  Pavilion Beach is located near the heart of Gloucester. It lies off of a small parking lot that is on a fairly busy city street (Western Ave). It is fine to drop your stuff in the lot; after that, best practice is to try and take advantage of nearby onstreet parking, of which there is usually more than enough. On the beach side of Western Ave there is a nice smooth sidewalk to wheel your boat and gear down to the lot, so consider just grabbing a space there if you see it without bothering to stop in the lot.

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

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 or Bob if you have questions or if you haven’t paddled with me before.

Hope to see you there!
