alcoons Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Let launch at Kings Beach in Lynn/Swampscott. Bill G. says "It is a pretty nice area. You can park on the street right at the beach. At launch, you can either head East past Swampscott Harbor, up to M'head and Tinkers." Date: Sunday 8/16 Launch: http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&...le&resnum=1 Bill says. "You can park anywhere along Lynn Shore Drive. There is a seawall there, but there are several stairs and ramps along the drive to access the beach." Look for my red Honda Accord, double kayak rack on top. "No problems at low tide, it is a firm sandy beach. It will be a bit of a hike at low tide down to the waters edge...a good 100+ yards." Return: 1-2 PM Max Route: Either head East past Swampscott Harbor, up to M'head and Tinkers: Max 10-12 miles 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: 7:44 AM, Low Tide: 1:45 PM Weather: SUNDAY: SW WINDS AROUND 5 KT...BECOMING SE 10 TO 15 KT IN THE AFTERNOON. WAVES 1 FOOT OR LESS. 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...
alcoons Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Forgot to include a launch time: Launch: 10 AM. Beach briefing at 9:45 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry2002 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Forgot to include a launch time: Launch: 10 AM. Beach briefing at 9:45 AM. Count me in. You may want to consider an earlier launch time. I know Nahant gets full before 10 on hot summer days and I would think this adjacent might also. Just a thought. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that work for you? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcoons Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 quoted from other thread: I was with you at the Solstice paddle-- had the 15 yr old girl with me. Yes, Hal's been off Kings beach and I just wanted to go out there with Him and a few others. I will let you know if we are in for sure later tonight. What time does is launch-- I'm missing that in the posts I saw. Nancy Hi Nancy. Sorry I did not realize who you were. It would be great to paddle with you and Hal. Hope you two can make it.

Hope you two can make it. Al No problem. I'm sorry but I think 9am may be a little early for us tomorrow. If we are up and change our mind, I'll send something before 7am. Otherwise, hope you guys have a great paddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was trying to get on this site early this morning (6 to 7 AM) but I guess the web site was down. Hope it did not mess you up. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Al, what are the odds that this site would be down the same time we would check for messages? Anyway, I made my first solo trip today. The water was like glass (like the time we went to Graves). I paddled over to Nahant, then out to Egg Rock, then back to Kings Beach. Sorry we missed each other – until next time. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to make sure I could plan something else with my wife if I was not going paddling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
