subaruguru Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm paraphrasing Gene's post, sans permission (oy...): Ern and I left the Willows (Dead Horse Beach) at high tide and circled Children's and went thru the rocks before heading over to the east side of Marblehead Neck for lunch. Then directly over to the Tinker's which was interesting for the rock play and topography. The houses looked like poor relatives of those on Baker's. We then crossed over Marblehead harbor and went thru Dolber's Cove, then across Salem harbor and back to the put-in with an hour and a half before low tide. Another half hour and there would have been a large sand bar to avoid. Traffic into Salem was slow and traffic leaving at 5PM was worse. It still took all of 10 minutes from the Willows back to 128. I highly recommend this put-in if you want to explore this side of Salem Sound. I'm thinking about putting-in at Riverhead and going down to Swampscott or Nahant. Cheers, Gene It was great to get out again after a month away. We re-rationalized single payer healthcare, but the many loons didn't seem to be listening. 12nm of light chop, a few minutes of grumble, a fairly close call with that speedy ferry, but no t-storms...yet!
