August 14, 200915 yr Doug, I plan to launch earlier at Long Wharf on the Jones River (off the Annisquam) and meet you at Lane's Cove. I will be there on the beach in Lane's at 10:00. Rob
August 14, 200915 yr I plan to launch (as in butt-in-boat) at 8:45 am to ride the ebb out the mouth of the Annisquam and arrive at Lane's Cove in plenty of time for the beach briefing. The distance to Lane's is just over 3 nm. Anyone else feel like getting a jump on the day? Rob
August 14, 200915 yr Author Looks like a great day ahead. See you all on the water in the AM. I'll have my radio on ch72 for any late arrivals that may need to catch up. Doug
