alcoons Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 When: Saturday, July 4th. Where: Riverhead Beach, Misery, Bakers, and the small islands on return. Maximum 11 miles. See http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1124844 for maximum route. Timing: High Tide is at noon on Saturday, so might as well leave at 10 AM so as not to fight it too much in the harbor. Arrive at the put-in at 9:15 AM. Lunch at Misery. Hope to return 3-4 PM. Put-in: Riverhead - http://www.nspn.org/play-put-ins.html Level: Level 3-- You should feel comfortable with the distance, have an ocean kayak, and basic wet-exit and self-rescue skills. The other stuff: Trip depends on having others committed to the paddle. Please confirm your interest here or at kayakclass @ verizon dot net Please check this string for updates. Bring lunch, plenty of water, sunscreen, etc. This is a private trip so show-and-go rules apply. Al Al Coons Cetus - Red/White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alcoons Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Unless you are a member of The Trustees of Reservations who own Misery, you will need $5 to help contribute to the upkeep of the Island. They do a wonderful job and Misery is a special place for many of us. Al PS. While one pays for Misery, no one should have to pay for misery.

Gcosloy Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Not that I'm a skin flint or one attempting to avoid paying my dues but a nicer lunch spot is Little Misery and usually there is no one there to collect the fee. The cove at Big Misery is a good spot to practice rescues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cove at Big >Misery is a good spot to practice rescues. No reason why we cannot stop there, but they often send someone over on the weekends to collect. I think we should support them but each to there own. Al Al Coons Cetus-Red/White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
