Posted June 22, 201015 yr Circumnavigation of Gerrish Island via Odiorne Park. Saturday 10:30AM est. launch time. The tides look good for Chawncy Creek. Put in will be at Odiorne Boat Launch where the "In-water" CAM day was. We will exit Little Harbor and cross the river to Kittery Point. Paddle up the coast to Brave Boat Harbor then down Chawncy Creek and home. Estimate 12 miles. Too early to post it as an L2 or 3 trip. Will update by Thursday or Friday. Let me know if you plan to attend either here or by email. We will split up the group into manageable pods if the numbers get too high.

SEAS 2 TO 3 FT.

Doug-see the NOAA Graphical forecast for Portsmouth: http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/wfo/secto...ineDay.php#tabs The coastal forecast is usually more benign than the one you quoted which includes seas up to 20 mi. out. The trip may still be L3 but the forecast of 20kt gusts will probably not be seen where we are.
June 25, 201015 yr Doug, My husband and I are interested in coming along tomorrow. We've been paddling for 10+ years, but have never gone out with NSP. shall we just plan to meet at the launch site? Claire
June 25, 201015 yr Doug: Gail and I would be along, but will be up near Cundy's Harbor on Sat. Looks to be a great day, and hope you'all enjoy the paddle. Look forward to seeing the excellent pictures of paddle we have come to expect from you.. Ed Lawson

I'm disappointed, bucause it appears to be a perfect day to be on the water. We're going to try to meet up with the group doing out tomorrow from Cape Ann. Thanks.
