Yong S Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 hello Al,I would like to join this Saturday if there's room; always wanted to do boston harbor islands but was too chicken to do by myself. If conditions are MILD, I will convince my wife to come along; she is not a very strong paddler. I may have to tow her from time to time and also if we are not going to slow the group down.Yong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josko Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 FWIW, there's also a Boston AMC trip that day going from City Point to Graves light. One can still sign up on outdoors.org, or maybe we'll just see you on the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkhederian Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I am going to join in on the fun, also. Boston Harbor always a delight. See you then.Bob K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcoons Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 As mentioned in the trip description, parking is limited. In the past the spaces have turned over since runners and walkers who parked there come and go. However, this is not a trip to arrive at the last minute and assume you will get a space quickly. Note also that there are no facilities near the put-in so plan ahead.Should be a great day,Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
