chetpk Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Fifteen of us launched from the Cape Neddick Campground (Maine) on the Neddick River for an excellent day on the water. If variety is the spice of life, then we had a life with spice on Sunday, August 1st. We started with a nice launch site at the Cape Neddick Campground ( $10 launch fee required), paddled out onto the ocean, into fog, found lots of rocks to play in, paddled in under the 50 foot cliffs at the Cliff House then landed at Ogunquit Beach under pristine blue skies and warm water. After lunch people worked the rocky coastline as they saw fit with a detour into Perkins Cove, then more rock play. Some really worked the edges of the rocks in hopes of polishing the sides of their boats free of any fiberglass-gel coat impurities that their boat might have inadvertently slipped out of the factory with. I myself tried to help Sal find his missing gel coat on our paddle back and so did he for me as on an occasion or two we managed to leave a white zebra stripe or two. Couldn't have picked a better day to paddle and what a call by Doug Mogill for organizing this and deciding where to paddle. Here are some pictures from the day and paddle ... http://tinyurl.com/2vc9zhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEL Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Here are some pictures from the day and paddle ... Pictures great and show you had one of those wonderfully mellow days with a classic mix of Maine coast paddling. No doubt a real treat. As you said, Doug deserves a great deal of credit for posting nice trips in interesting locations. Ed Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcosloy Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Doug this one was a beaut: fog rolling in, endless rocky shore line to play in, fog rolling out revealing a perfect summer day and a drop dead gorgeous sandy beach to land and lunch on. Awesome group to share it with as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome group to share it with as well. Ditto that, and especially the cliff cove. Thanks for arranging the trip Doug. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
