How about out of lanes and around Cranes? which would provide a good section out of the wind and trip total lenght of ~ 15 statute miles.
October 23, 200915 yr Author How about out of lanes and around Cranes? which would provide a good section out of the wind and trip total lenght of ~ 15 statute miles. I am usually surprised when I go to the Castle River to avoid the wind. Even though it will be a beam wind at that point it really doesn't diminish much. Also I find that part of the trip boring. Also getting out of the Pavilion basin late in the afternoon will be against the flood tide. (2:30-3:30) How about heading west over to Essex Bay and up to Plum Island tip. There could be some moderate surf along the way. And back to Lanes on a rollicking following sea. 10-12mi. But if others like Barry's idea I'm game for that too!
October 24, 200915 yr How about heading west over to Essex Bay and up to Plum Island tip. There could be some moderate surf along the way. It's all good! Would be great to get out, looks like it will be a pretty good day Sunday: WSW wind 15 to 18 kt becoming WNW 10 to 13 kt in the morning. Partly sunny, then gradually becoming sunny. Seas 2 to 3 ft.

October 25, 200915 yr ...Around Cranes via Fox Creek may be a problem as h.t. is 5ish... A couple hours away from low tide should be more than enough time to get through Fox Creek. From Lanes Cove I wouldn't expect you would have a problem.
