alcoons Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 From Winthrop, visit the Harbor Islands and Boston Light if appropriate conditions. Date: Saturday, July 3Launch Time: 9:30 AM Return time: 2:30-3:30?Put-in: Winthrop - http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=...mp;t=h&z=16Possible Routes: Play it as we go. Some ideas follow. Add some stops on interesting islands as we go. Boston Light: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3839476 Hull Gut: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2252330Level: 3. Wind and chop possible and serious boat traffic likely. 12-14 miles. Hull Gut can have significant current, but I have never found it a problem when hugging the Hull shore and going into Hingham Bay before crossing the channel.Type: CAM with expectations that this mellow group stays together and works together. Other groups can certainly form at the put-in. Tide: Low 10:37 AMConfirmation: Need a minimum of 3 paddlers to confirm trip. Post and check here. Assume marginal weather will alter the trip or move it to Sunday or Monday. Al Cetus Red/White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruguru Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Hi Al, I'm interested. BIB at 9:30 may be a bit early, unless you're committed to an early return. Ern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, conditions may change as we get closer. Al I have never been to this boat launch before and will be coming from Manchester N.H. area. I did look at the put-in directions, but not sure how far out the put-in is and if there are any surprises or suggestions I might want to know about.

Did you see the link to Google Maps that shows where the put-in is? It is in my trip posting at the top of this thread. Hope that helps. If not, I am not quite sure what your question is. Could you clarify? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from the north I assume it makes most sense to come down 93 till Callahan tunnel exit, then take that north till I hit the road systems that will take me over to Shirley road ?

That's what I do. Unlikely traffic will be bad on Saturday morning. If it is, I go across route 16 from 93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glil Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I'll join you. Just figured out a 3-way switch for work that makes everyone happy. Have never been to this put-in before and only drive into Boston to go to the airport. Will leave plenty early and hopefully not get lost.
