Friends, Romans, Paddlers,

NSPN Wednesday Lunch Paddle #10 takes place on July 3, 2019.

Put In: Winthrop Boat Ramp (which is same address as the Winthrop Ferry Dock) :  707 Shirley St, Winthrop, MA 02152   https://www.google.com/maps/place/Winthrop+Boat+Ramp/@42.3664929,-70.9732619,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89e36fb0ea8b99b1:0x1fd35956f732876c!8m2!3d42.366489!4d-70.9710732
 
Parking: Our parking is immediately on the left as you enter the large parking lot from the street anywhere before the public boat launching ramp. Closest to ramp is best. Signs indicate those spots are reserved for public launching. Nice little beach for launching starts about 20 yards feet from car. No change unless you use the ramp ($5). 
 
Facilities: Nice, clean public rest rooms across the parking lot in the Ferry Terminal. Enter from right side.

This trip doesn't have a specific level: we'll determine the route based on who shows up, what people want to do, and what the environment wants to do. All properly equipped members are welcome: please bring rigged boats with deck lines, bulkheads, spray skirts, and dress for immersion.

Current forecast is variable winds 5 kt or less. Sunny. Seas around 1 ft. Temps around 80F. High tide around 12:30pm.

Let's meet at 10 am sharp, and ready to launch around 10.20 am. Then we'll have a beach briefing, make a plan together based on what people feel like doing, and get on the water, hopefully around 10.30 am.

NOTE: The Wednesday Lunch Paddles are cooperative adventures, not guided trips. 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.  A waiver/float plan will be created at the launch, so there's no need to commit in advance. It's always 100% OK to show up, decide you don't like the conditions or the trip, and opt out.

If you have any questions, or if you haven’t paddled with Bob Levine before, please get in touch with @rylevine by private message before the event so we can touch base!

If you're interested in coming, it's nice if you let us know by posting on this thread. There is no calendar entry for this particular trip. Other conversation (including stating your interest in going) can also happen on this thread.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

I would like to get to the inner harbor and around by Rowes Warf  and the Fed courthouse/Northern Ave. How long do you stay out? Not sure I can make it but maybe.
