rylevine Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 It's early, but post here if interested in a trip this weekend. The only constraint is the Haverhill pool session at 5:15 on Saturday, so a Saturday trip would have to end with enough time to drive from the put-in. Should not be a problem if we get off the water around 3 or so. Sunday is open. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm on the subject of preferences, and I do share Ed and Kevin's views about self reliance; I'd prefer at least one Libertarian, one graduate of a Rudolf Steiner School, one Board Certified Cardiologist and someone who brings extra brownies.

Gene, As a dyed in the wool Michigander, I have to confess that I had to look up the Rudolf Steiner School. I can do the brownies. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be close to Haverhill for the pool session as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearby rock island full of seals. Sounds like a plan for Sat. We can confirm or modify as week progresses. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin, That has been the usual time for winter trips - and usually off the water by around 3:30 or 4:00. To be concise, let's define the trip to be Seabrook BIB 11:00 on Saturday 2/6. Post here if interested or have questions. I'll confirm the trip on Friday, or modify if weather, conditions, or schedule changes. BTW, how long did it take you to get to Haverhill from Seabrook? I would go directly. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossjb1 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hey guys I think that I could do Saturday but I would absolutely have to be off the water and in my car by 2:00. Sunday is also possible with same time constraints. Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday is also possible with same time constraints. Ross Hi Ross, http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/wfo/secto...ineDay.php#tabs Both Saturday and Sunday are cold (20-30F) and gusty (~20kts). Sunday has clear sunny skies and somewhat less wave heights than Saturday (to about 3ft). Saturday looks a little rougher - 4ft waves and cloudy skies, but somewhat less gusty. Our plan on either day would be to stay close to shore (similar to our December trip), but I think four or more paddlers would be best. Car by 2 would mean starting earlier than 11, which is OK with me. I'll check postings this afternoon..... Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambor Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Maine forecast appears a bit tamer: SAT... N WINDS 10 TO 15 KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 20 KT. SEAS 2 TO 4 FT.

Will check back around 8 tonight to call it. Looking for two more. Sunday is also a possibility, but will start another topic for it later.
