Kevin B (RPS Coach) Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 Shooting for July 27 or Aug 9 or 10. Please commit to one of these days. I want to know exactly who will be coming on this trip beforehand so I can plan accordingly. If you happen to be one of those people who can't commit to a trip ahead of time, then you might be out of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbjorn Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Kevin -- any of those dates works for me. Regarding my post with a distance from Google Earth but no units, I was so enthralled with my discovery of the ruler tool that I forgot about nautical vs statute -- earned myself an F on that assignment. BTW, I noticed what looks like a large parking lot right next to the beach in Wallis Sands State Park. From there to Appledore is showing as 5.3 nautical (6.1 statute) miles. Is that a possible launch site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I could do the 27th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnHuth Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Can't do either, unfortunately - but carry on, and post a nice report! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratherpaddle Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I would love to do this paddle also. It has been years since I have been out to the islands. August 2nd thru the 9th would be tough for me to make it but almost any other time. Wayne G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulariegel Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Assuming the launch would be from Odiorne Park, using the ruler tool in Google Earth I get 6 miles from there to the closest point in the Isles, Appledore. Blaine There is a marine lab on Appledore and stopping on the island requires permission. Cedar and Lunging are private. Duck is a bird sanctuary. Smuttynose, Malaga, Star, White, Seaveys OK to land. If heading to Smutty, shortest distance is to launch from Rye Harbor. On north side of harbor is small lot (no fee) that can accomodate a number of cars. From Rye Harbor to Smuttynose approx 6nm. Nice rock gardening out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smuttynose, Malaga, Star, White, Seaveys OK to land. The seals at Duck Island can be a lot of fun, we were just diving/snorkeling with them a week ago.

Kevin B (RPS Coach) Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 QUOTE(Kevin B @ Jun 6 2008, 09:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Planning an Isle of Shoals trip in July or August. This is NOT a mothership trip. We'll be paddling out and back. If interested, please post or email:) Due to unforeseen family obligations this weekend, I'll be doing this trip in September. Expect to do so the third weekend of that month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
