Club Tradition!

Show your spirit! Every year on the Friday after Thanksgiving the club ambles out to Misery Island to consume leftover Turkey, as if squeezing still full bellies into a spray skirt isn't hard enough. Who's going this year?

P.S. - I won't be able to lead this, we'll be flying to Ohio that day.

If launching from Lynch Park bring your walking shoes. Low tide is 11AM. High tide is 4ish so you'll be able to land withing sight of the parking lot. The nearest alternative is Tuck Point at the end of the Beverly-Salem bridge. Tides not much of an issue there.

Hi Liz,

I had hoped to tag along, but have a Subie appt this afternoon anyway.

Want to schedule a "gale check" on this trip? I'd think that most of us will still have fuel to burn.

Am working on better cold-water glove options. Will post soon.

Cheers...and thanks again for hosting the Cold Water Clinic.
