Wed Lunch Paddle 7/27/2022: Rockport Granite Pier

Recommended Posts

This week's WLP is on July 27, 2022 and will launch from Rockport Granite Pier (Google maps link: https://goo.gl/maps/wcKibL4ABWToCR2U9).  Parking is $12; cash only.

Let's meet up no later than 9:30 am and depart promptly at 10:00 am. The weather forecast is for sun, dry air, low wind and moderate air temps. High water is at 11:34.

There will be a modest 1+ foot swell and I would like to go around Cape Ann past Thacher and Milk Islands to Long Beach and have some fun in the surf, maybe have lunch on the beach. This forecast should make for a friendly low-impact opportunity to play in the waves at all skill levels. Lots of pretty rock ledges along the way too. Even if you are not playing in the rocks please bring a helmet for surf-landing safety!

To join the trip you must be a paid-up NSPN member, and have signed the club participant waiver for this season. Your signup information will only be shared with other members on the trip.

Covid-19 paddling: this trip requires paddlers to be vaccinated/boosted against Covid-19 and symptom-free, as rescues or first aid may require close physical contact.

Trip level: WLPs do not have a specific level. All properly equipped members are welcome: please bring boats with rigged deck lines, bulkheads, spray skirts, and dress for immersion. For this trip a helmet is recommended also.

NOTE: The Wednesday Lunch Paddles are cooperative adventures, not guided trips. We encourage paddlers to make their own independent decision about their comfort level with conditions at the time of the paddle. 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. 

Please PM me if you have questions or if you haven’t paddled with us before.

Hope to see you there!
