PeterB Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Solstice Paddle Level 2 and Level 2+ Trips Sunday , June 26th. Riverhead Beach, Marblehead, MA PeterBrady: initiator The Solstice L2 and L2+ trips are part of the NSPN Solstice Paddle on June 26th . The L2 trip stays in the protected areas around Marblehead Harbor, and Dolliber Cove & Brwns Island , at the head of Marblehead Harbor, with the option to venture a bit further along Marblehead neck or up towards Salem sound, depending on conditions and the preferences of the group. Total mileage will be @ 6 miles. The L2+ Trip is for people who would like a bit more exposure and longer mileage than the L2 trip, but prefer something more mellow and shorter mileage than the L3 paddle, which usually goes over to Bakers Island. Total mileage will be @ 7-8 nautical miles. If you are interested in the L2 or the L2+ Meet at Riverhead Beach in Marblehead, 10:00am for beach briefing, and a 10:30am launch: The L2 and L+ groups will have a beach briefing together and probably launch together. We will proceed to the mouth of Marblehead Harbor where we may part ways with the L2 group and, depending on the weather, group size and preferences, either cross Salem Harbor to the Willows, where we’ll stop for lunch, and return by the same route, or cross to Children's Island and stop there for lunch, and return by the same route. Depending on group size, we have a number of options: if group size is small and everyone is game for the L2+ float plan, we can combine with the L2 paddle, if group size is large we can stick to the separate L2 and L2+ float plan. We'll return to Riverhead Beach by @ 3pm, to get our boats squared away and get changed for the grand potluck under the pavilion at Devereaux Beach, just across the road from Riverhead Beach.Please RSVP (I’m going”) in the calendar June 26th L2/L2+ Solstice Paddle in the calendar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
