alcoons Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Wed 8/20 Anyone interested in a shorter paddle than the 20+ miler that is posted for Thursday but which appears to be going Wed? Suppose to be a beautiful day. 10-12+ miles, level 3, work together have a good time? Al Cetus Red/White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Cetus Red/White I’m defiantly in for Wednesday or Thru and I might be able to do both paddles if they were on seperate days of course. However I need to be off the water by 4:0 PM on Wed, 3:30 would be even better. I’ve been looking forward to a long paddle all summer, so I’m hoping this works out for me.

Have you posted in the correct thread? Both paddles are now on Wednesday. This thread is for the shorter paddle. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcoons Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hi Al, I'd be up for a trip. Hi Suwin. Let's plan on it. If it is just the two of us we can do a more conservative paddle? Any place you have in mind? I have not been out of Lane's cover this year. Maybe 10:30 Launch - head toward/up/across the river to the beachs or we could head the other way. Off the water at 2:30-3 PM? Mellow paddle. Let's see what other replies we get during the day. I will post something more formal this evening.

Gcosloy Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hi Al, Any chance of moving the launch to 11:30AM? I can't get out of Wayland before 9:30AM tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suwin Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Any place is fine with me. Never been out of Lane's Cove so that'd be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcoons Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hi Al, Any chance of moving the launch to 11:30AM? I can't get out of Wayland before 9:30AM tomorrow. OK by me. Depends on Suwin and any others?? High Tide is 2:15 PM or so, so if we head west and then maybe up towards the tip of Cranes - keep it relatively short..back at 3:30 or so. Winds are suppose to be from the NW (10-15) going to W (5-10) early afternoon. We might have the tide with us at the start and then I have no clue after the river mouth to Cranes...Wind and tide might help us on the way back..... So let's just go mellow and easy and enjoy ourselves. Suwin will this work for you?. Launch as soon as Gene gets there if this is not too late. We will be ready by 11:15? Final details tonight.

Al Great, thanks Al. tides are no problem in Ipswich Bay, unless you decide to head down the Annasquam or the Castle River behind Cranes. Simpler choice is to head out against the wind and ride back with the wind. (unless it shifts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcoons Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Day: Wed 8/20 Time: Launch 11:30 AM, Take out 3:30? Put-in: Lanes Cover (See Put-ins/Directions), however, drive all the way around the cove to the right -- usually some bad potholes on the dirt road. At the very end (ocean side of cover), you will see a boat launch to the left and parking back up to the right. Possible Routes: See previous posts Level: 3. Pace and expectations moderate. 8-12 miles roundtrip. Often involves waves and wind and tide. Type: CAM with expectations that we all stay together and work together. Tide: A bit after 2 PM Al Cetus Red/White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I found the put-in on Google that you're talking about. Is it a little non-descript place at the end of Andrews Street? Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Allen Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Al, Since I don't have the 6:30am out the door start time in me for the Plum Island circumnav, I plan on joining you. May paddle for an hour or so before the group goes out the gate at 11:15 (depending on traffic, etc). Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a little non-descript place at the end of Andrews Street? Larry Glad you are going to join us. Yes, as best as I can tell it is Andrew or perhaps a dirt road that comes off it to the left. Hard to miss it. Just keep the Cove on the left until you hit the sea wall.
