djlewis Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 There will be two max currents -- flood at 11:30, ebb at 4:30. So we could play in the waves and rip, enhanced by boat wakes, and paddle around in between. We could launch relatively late, like 10:30 and be done by 5:30-6:00. Post here or email <djlewis at triadic dotty commie> if interested. --David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Allen Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 David- I might be interested. But I've got Max currents at 9:40a/10a (Woods Hole versus 0.1 off of Devils) and at 5p? Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyson Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Dang Blackburn! I'm already booked for some Blackburn training on Sat. but there is a small chance that I would join if you happen to delay until Sunday. Don't change on my account because I'm not sure I could make it anyway, but if you do I might. Cheers! Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Interesting -- what's your source? You have a seven hour spread, while I see five hours. My quote was MapTech for Devil's Foot -- 11:25 F / 4:33 E, to be exact From Reeds AND NOAA I get exactly the same. (Well, Reed's is precisely an hour earlier, but looking closely I see they do not correct for Daylight Savings.) Looks like both Reed's and MapTech are using NOAA data. I'm looking for a couple more folks before committing to this. Sunday is possible too -- the ebb will be kinda late in the day, but it would mean an even later launch, which is good for traffic going down. --David.

Ebb (-)Direction, 276 True. http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/get_predc...p;footnote=ac59 The 25th looks like more fun.... -Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Allen Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I used the source Jason links to, but it would help if I wasn't a week off. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyson Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Looks like we've got a contractor coming to visit to chat about building a house on Sunday so I'm can't make it either day this weekend. Have fun! Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPARSONS Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Dave, you are killing me. I so badly want to go, but I can't make it down there this weekend because I have prior commitments in Boston. I did it solo last weekend and had a blast. I usually do Woods Hole solo because I'm down there a lot. Nevertheless, when I go solo I have to reign myself in more than I'd like for safety sake. I would absolutely love to do it with a group anytime...well, anytime but this weekend. As far as I'm concerned, Woods Hole is the most interesting place to paddle, and I get out there as much as possible -- at least four or five times per year. Anytime someone is thinking of paddling there, please...please...please let me know. I usually don't bother posting when I'm down there because its hard for me to monitor the NSPN site when I'm on the Cape (and no one ever says "yes" to trips I post anyway!) For the record, I'll be there the following Saturday, July 18, if anyone is interested, but that should be a separate posting so as to not confuse people about Dave's trip.
