This will be a mellow trip unless Rob is along, then all Hell may break loose so he can practice dealing with it. :-))

Launch from: Long Wharf Town Landing – Take route 128 to Exit 13, Concord Street. At end of ramp, left on Concord for 0.8 mile. Turn right onto Atlantic Street (signed for Wingaersheek Beach) and drive 0.8 mile to the Long Wharf Town Landing on the right – free parking at the landing.

Level 2+ (3 if windy but it is pretty protected)

Butt in boats time: 1:30 PM (Beach briefing at 1:15 PM)

Off the water: no later than 6:30 PM

Depending on conditions and desire of the group, we may start off heading in toward Gloucester Harbor, go past the starting line for the Blackburn Challenge, under the RR bridge, to Dun Fudgin' Landing and the Blynman Canal bridge. The current will be too strong to go into Gloucester Harbor. Or, we can start paddling against the tide toward Lobster Cove, Wingaersheek Beach, and Ipswich Bay. Bird watchers should bring binoculars.

PPP-O at Lobsta Land, just off Rt. 128, Rust Island. (They will be open.)

Sunset: 6:13 PM (Nautical Twilight: 7:03 PM)

High tide: 3:35 PM. 9.7 ft. - Not high enough to paddle over the marshes. :-(( That will occur on Tuesday, Oct. 7 near the full moon.
