rfolster Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 This trip is now full, but stay tuned for future opportunities. We will be doing a Level 1 Ocean Introduction trip this Saturday in Portsmouth. The plan is to launch from Odiorne to paddle under Wentworth bridge at the very beginning of the ebb. We will take a discussion break and then ride the ebb to Frost Point beach (just inside the breakwall) where we will get out and observe / discuss ocean conditions. There we will take opportunities to journey outside the wall for a bit, or stay in the harbor and work on paddling skills, before heading back to the boat ramp. Trip is expected to be around 3 miles. We need to be ready to launch at 9:30am, and return around 1:00pm. Temps in the mid-60's with showers possible, so dress on the warmer side and bring snakes snacks (please don't bring snakes!) and a warm beverage if possible. We won't be stopping for lunch, so make sure your snacks are portable (eat in the boat) and plentiful enough. Parking costs around $5, and you should reserve a space ahead of time by clicking this link. If you have questions or are interested in participating, please email robert@nspn.org. Loaner boats may be available with advanced notice for those that need them. Please let me know sooner rather than later. Any club members that want to assist with this trip, please PM me so we can discuss logistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Rhodes Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Sorry, one other thing. I reserved a parking space. Will it be obvious where we launch from once I get to the parking lot? Thanks Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhabich Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 The boat ramp parking lot is north of the main park entrance, just on the south side of the small bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfolster Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Hey Linda, the weather is looking OK for Saturday. The launch is at the opposite end of the entry to the parking lot and is fairly obvious. We will probably set up next to the ramp, but look for me, the guy with the long beard.

rfolster Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 We now have six participants (five new to kayaking, one with experience). If anyone else wants to help look after some new paddlers for a short morning trip, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
