Wed Lunch Paddle 7/6/22: Lynch Park, Beverly @ 10 am

[Joseph Berkovitz]

This week's WLP is on July 6, 2022 and will launch from Lynch Park in Beverly.  Let's meet up no later than 10 am and plan to depart around 10:30. A likely plan is to go east to lunch in Manchester somewhere, taking advantage of a wind shift on our return.

Parking at Lynch Park is $15, CASH ONLY. Summer on the North Shore = revenue stream for towns!

A low pressure system is forecast to end earlier that morning. We will likely see some gusts at the start from the NW replaced by gentler winds from the NE, so the Beverly and Manchester coasts will give us protection during this period, as the wind dies down. Skies will be clearing and drying out with temps in the 60s/70s, looks to be very pleasant by lunchtime. The sea state is not a concern at present.

To join the trip you must be a paid-up NSPN member, and have signed the club participant waiver for this season. Your signup information will only be shared with other members on the trip.

Covid-19 paddling: this trip requires paddlers to be vaccinated/boosted against Covid-19 and symptom-free, as rescues or first aid may require close physical contact.

Trip level: WLPs do not have a specific level. All properly equipped members are welcome: please bring boats with rigged deck lines, bulkheads, spray skirts, and dress for immersion.

NOTE: The Wednesday Lunch Paddles are cooperative adventures, not guided trips. We encourage paddlers to make their own independent decision about their comfort level with conditions at the time of the paddle. 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. 

Please PM me if you have questions or if you haven’t paddled with us before.

Hope to see you there!
