Posted October 6, 200618 yr If I decide not to do the Cape Ann trip, any interest in surfing off of Cranes? Surf forecast looks to be predicting 3/4 footers although I'm new predicting surf. Post here if interest and I'll decide which trip to do on Sat. This would be good for those not yet used to surf. UPDATE--CONOMO POINT 1PM PUT IN---RIDE TIDE OUT TO CRANES TO SEE WHAT"S AROUND. IF NO SURF, WILL FIND ROCKS. USUAL SNG RULES APPLY... PLEASE POST INTEREST. IF NONE, MIGHT PADDLE ESLEWHERE. FOR THOSE NEW TO SURF, GOOD PLACE TO START LEARNING...DON"T WORRY ABOUT BEING A BURDEN SINCE I LOVE RESCUE PRACTICE .
October 7, 200618 yr I'd join you Kevin. I'll be looking for an updates on the Cape Ann trip in the meantime. Dana
October 7, 200618 yr I may be up for a little surf on Sunday, too. Have to be afternoon, though, as I'm occupied in the morning. If no good surf, a little rock-garden play? Rob Explorer - off-quill
October 7, 200618 yr If you want those options consider Lane's Cove, a quick trip to Crane's or the rocks of Cape Ann. There was bouncy stuff here and there, enough to practice bongo slide and return to the water for a novice, but nothing clean for those satisfying long rides. Really flattened out in the PM also. Best of luck if you do go.
October 7, 200618 yr Sounds interesting..... Do you think the conditions would suit a relative surf novice? I haven't paddled around Cranes before although I've been off Wingaersheek and in the upper Annisquam. Nice bumping into you at nesc this morning; how'd the Merrimac treat you? Jon
October 7, 200618 yr Hey Kevin... pls keep me posted. May be interested in either if I decide the drive to Popham is too long in the morning. thanks!!
October 8, 200618 yr Author The Big Mac was ripping as always...always a great place to learn about current...she never ceases to surprise:) You're coming out tomorrow, right? Haven't seen you on the water since that meeting by chance off of Wakiki Beach...
October 8, 200618 yr Author Carl, Rt 128N to the exit for rt133 towards Essex. Follow 133 for a couple of miles until you see a British pub. Turn at the pub and follow that road for about a mile until you see a sign on the left for Conomo Point. Stay to the left on that road and you'll come to the water. The put in will be on your right marked by a sandy lot with picnic tables.
October 8, 200618 yr One correction - the pub will be on the LEFT, you turn RIGHT when you see the pub. Kevin, your other left! Brian P&H Capella 163 Red/White/Black trim
October 8, 200618 yr Author Hey Brian, Thanks for catching that oversight...are you coming along tomorrow?
October 8, 200618 yr Would love to (really!) but I have another hobby that is begging for attention tomorrow: rockets. There is a big launch tomorrow in Amesbury and I have some large rockets I am sending up. Thanks for the enjoyable paddle today, Kevin. Brian P&H Capella 163 Red/White/Black trim
