alcoons Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Sunday is suppose to be the best weather of the weekend. Repeating last year's wonderful trip - Easy pace. Not pushing. Level 3 because of a possible combination of distance, tides, boat traffic and possible wind and waves, and current in Hull Gut (this has never been a problem along the Hull Shore). Note that I must be back by 3 PM. Date: Sunday 7/19 Launch: 9:30 AM Winthrop End of Road, Airport Side (Beach Briefing 9:15 AM) Return: 3 PM Routes: Tour of islands: 10-12 miles http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3013230 Boston Light: 12-14 only in good conditions and if everyone wants to go. Trip Type and Tone: CAM. All stay together. Support each other. Conservative decisions. Should be comfortable with wind and waves. Bring: Water & lunch High Tide: 9 AM, Low Tide: Around 3 PM Need at least two others to confirm. Check back here. Al Coons Cetus Red/White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always....love to have you with us. That is 3 hours after launch so might be on the way back if we do a short route but try to give us a holler. I will have my radio on 72. I don't keep my cell accessible, but perhaps someone in the group does. It was good to see you last Monday at Mystic. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhipple Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hi Al - I hope to join you Sunday ... won't know until sometime Saturday, though -- just got back from CA this morning on a red-eye, hard to tell which end's up right now and a lot of stuff to get caught up with. Hopefully ... Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob budd Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 David, what gives. Early Saturday and late Sunday? Anyway, Dee and I would love to launch from this side of the harbour (Deer Island) or were you still planning on Hull. We could head across to Boston Light and then take it from there.

alcoons Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Without any confirmations at this point (5 PM Saturday), I reluctantly cancel this trip so I can make alternate plans. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to plan something else for tomorrow since it did not seem as if this trip was going. Ugh. Next Time I hope. Sorry. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhipple Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 My apologies, Al. I should have made a commitment one way or the other earlier in the day, to allow you to plan. Truth is that I've been waffling -- am still pretty pooped and wouldn't want to slow others down. Anyway, sorry if I contributed to your planning difficulty, and that the trip's a no-go after your efforts. Next time? Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
