Jane Cobb and I plan to launch at 10:00 at the ramp/beach in the "Scuba Diving Lot" at Fort Wetherill, in Jamestown, RI on Wednesday morning. For those who would like to join us, a proper sea kayak 14+ (bulkheads, deck lines), and a drysuit will be essential, and a helmet if you like to get close to rocks. This is a rocky area. Forecast calls for sunshine, air temp in low 50s with water temp around 60F. Plan on about 10 miles, but route will depend on interest and may be shorter. We will take our time in the more interesting areas. There will be a few opportunities for a stop on shore. It is possible that we will paddle to Beavertail Light and back (about 10 miles RT). Current forecast is for 1' seas, 5 seconds. Primary and secondary swells may add a little to the mix. Winds, 4-8 Kts, NW becoming W in the afternoon.

There is no charge to enter the park. To find the launch, use Fort Wetherill Scuba Diving Lot, Jamestown, RI as the address. Please arrive in time to start paddling at 10:00 AM.
