Kevin B (RPS Coach) Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Once again, a paddle designed to move self-described L2 paddlers towards L3 trips. Put in at Riverhead at 10am on Sunday and paddle out to the Misery, Bakers, Gooseberries, etc. Good practice for rock play, channel crossings, dealing with boat traffic, etc. Considered an L3 trip for ocean exposure, distance, and size of the channel crossings. Usual SNG rules apply. Please post interest here or email so that we have an idea of how many people to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gcosloy Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Sounds Good. Alda and I expect to be there. Al Al & Alda, I'm up for a paddle tomorrow. Winds NW 10 Gusts to 15 How about Tuck Point in Beverly going out to Misery and surf back with the wind behind us. Or Walden Pond for warm water rolling and stupid kayak tricks? Any other ideas welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Allen Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Several of us that were playing at Good harbor beach agreed to meet for tomorrow's trip. Lorrie and I, as well as Judy (? explorer) and Mary (? force 3). If conditions hold as forcast, I think we'll have a nice trip if others want to join.

Phil So -- does that mean you are showing up at Marblehead / Riverside for a 10:00 launch, as scheduled before Kevin & Gillian dropped out. Or more simply -- the trip is still on, right?! If anybody's planning to show, then so am I! --David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcosloy Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Ok, I'm in too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzert Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I would be interested as well. What is the final plan ? thanks, Barry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlewis Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I would be interested as well. What is the final plan ? Just observing what is happening, I think that a number of paddlers will be launching from Marblehead / Riverside at 10:00 AM for a circuit of the Sound -- over to Baker, Miseries, etc etc. If that's "the final plan" so be it, but I think it's the same as the original plan. --David.

Phil Allen Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 It's the same idea as the original plan. Meet at Riverhead for launch, go explore or play. Standard Show and go apply. Sounds like at least 7 of us: me, Lorrie, Judy, Mary, Barry, Gene and Dave. There was some discussion at Good Harbor that butt in boats was 10:30, so why dont we make that the launch time. Forcast winds are 10-15 from the S with higher gusts, but falling during the afternoon (as of 9pm Sat.). Now if I can just find the launch in time ;-) Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Allen Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 David's correct, NW not S. Now I know how to read the graphical wind forecast. ;-) Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcoons Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 So what is the launch time now? Am I correct it is 10:30 AM at Riverhead? Do we all agree on that? I can make it after all. Wife now has to work. Al Cetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Allen Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 See you there Al. Figure 10:30 incase some of yesterday's crew dont get there early. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruguru Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Yikes! Just saw this. Will rush to be there by 10:30. (9:40 in Medford) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruguru Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Yikes! Just saw this. Will rush to be there by 10:30. (9:40 in Medford) Ah...great fun, and with 11 of us, quite a parade. Am I correct in thinking that conditions started as a solid L3 (gusts high teens, some 3-4 footers) throughout the morning, softening to L2 later upon the return? Hope to repeat soon. Water was 59F and felt even warmer! Ern PS Thanks to Al and DJ for corraling (sp?...no, they weren't singing) us well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brwells Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I was eating brunch at the Corinthian Yacht Club (next to the light) when you all went right by. It was great to watch, but it would have been better to be in the group instead of watching from above. Gene, it was me who yelled "Gene!" as you passed. I recognized your boat - sorry to give you a startle, you probably thought you were hearing things. So...where's the trip report? Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian The wind was strong and must have blocked the majority of decibels coming from your voice, but thanks, I almost did think I was hearing things. Sort of this disembodied voice coming from a moored vessel or perhaps from inside my head. I will cancel my appointment with the psychiatrist.
