Marblehead 8/26/07

[bazzert]

Nice short paddle out of Marblehead today, on a day where it was high eighties and humid it felt almost cool on the water. Significant swells, and a warning from the passing Marblehead harbor master to "watch the weather" scuttled any thought of crossing the open water to Childrens. Instead put in at Crowninhead island for lunch and to enjoy the view. Helped push a motor boat off the beach where he had stranded himself by the falling tide; thus earning karma for kayakers everywhere. Crossed back across the mouth of the harbor, pausing long enough to regroup and take a gander at the magnificent ketch "Meteor" before braving what seemed like the entire fleet of the Corinthian yacht club, clearly in a hurry to be the first back at the bar. Pictures in the gallery.
