Recommended Posts

Sunday looks like the day to paddle. I am up for a mellow trip and very flexible on location and time, but there is one possibility below.  Please suggestion something else if you want to.

Weather: Boston Harbor

SAT  SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Waves 1 foot or less. Patchy fog. A  chance of showers.  

SAT NIGHT  SE winds 5 to 10 kt, becoming SW after midnight.  Waves 1 foot or less.  

SUN  SW winds 5 to 10 kt. Waves 1 foot or less.  

SUN NIGHT  W winds around 5 kt. Waves 1 foot or less.

Boston Harbor Islands from Wintrop

Date: Sunday 8/13

Launch: 9:30 AM, (Beach Briefing 9:15 AM). Early departure to take advantage of limited parking.

Status: Need committed paddlers to confirm. Confirmation will be posted on this thread.


Route: 10-12 miles:  Tour of many of the Boston Harbor Islands including Boston Light if conditions are appropriate and we are up for the distance (note there are times when kayakers are not allowed to land at the light): 

 

Put-in: Last parking lot (on left) on Tafts Avenue in Winthrop before you are stopped by the Deer Island gate (back about 1/4 mile?) http://www.gmap-pedo....com/?r=5974085 or Wintrop boat launch.


Trip Type and Tone: Level 3- but we will have to see the conditions. CAM. All stay together. Support each other. Conservative decisions. Should be comfortable with wind and waves although at this point conditions appear very good.

Bring: Water & lunch, snacks, extra clothing, etc.

Tides are perfect: Low Tide: Around 10 AM , High Tide: Around 4 PM
