Kevin B (RPS Coach) Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 5 folks in the group set off counterclockwise around Gerrish at 10:30am. A little bit of wind pushing us along and then pushing against us for most of the way. Estimated sustained 15-20kt with gusts to 25. Not much else in the way of conditions as we made for Braveboat for a bit of a break. Followed the creek back at a nice relaxing pace. Many thanks to Glenn, Phil, Bob, and Doug for joining the trip.

Phil Allen Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Good trip if a little windy. Welcomed Doug to the ocean with some challenging conditions but he held his own admirably. Gotta get back to braveboat when there's some swell coming in. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin, It was a nice trip on Saturday. The wind gusts made the ocean side of Gerrish a useful exercise. I found my shore side paddle lifting in the wind, which was a little unnerving at times but easy to adjust to. The creek was a delight. I'm continually amazed to find beautiful wilderness so close to major cities. I think it is a distinctly East coast or New England phenomena. Great to meet Doug, and spend an afternoon with paddling friends. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwman53 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thanks to Kevin, Phil, Glen and Bob for keeping up with me in my first NSPN adventure A little wind just adds to the focus factor and is good practice Looking forward to the next time the other Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
