Joseph Berkovitz Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 This week's WLP is on August 3, 2022 and will launch from Fishermans Beach in Swampscott (Google maps link: https://goo.gl/maps/R4H1vQGarFPnGGBh7). Parking is free, amazingly enough. This trip will be on the early and small side, since the lot is not very ample and it fills up rapidly. Let's meet up at 8:30 am with an aim to depart around 9:00 am. The weather forecast is for a pleasant summer day with a bit less heat than we've been getting recently and a cooling E wind in the afternoon. Here's the registration link: https://forms.gle/s1G6QqZEPEw1jzUA9 You can get tide information, charts and weather forecasts for the area here: https://coastalpaddling.com/42.47051/-70.90405/13?tides=y&date=202208031200 Tides for Lynn Harbor are: Time Type Feet 03:34 am high 9.41 09:48 am low 0.41 12:00 pm 3.26 04:01 pm high 9.42 10:11 pm low 0.65 We can head north (left) up the rocky Swampscott coast to Devereux, cross Nahant Bay to East Point, and/or play around on the nearby beaches if there are waves (currently looking unlikely). We can make up our plan when we meet! If you want to play in rocks or waves please bring a brain protector. 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!
