Posted August 1, 201113 yr Cape Neddick to Ogunquit Beach ME. NEW DATE: Saturday August 13th Please post interest here or contacty if you want to attend. DATE: Saturday, August 13th... 10:45 am SHARP. This is an L3 trip as there are not many safe areas to bail out. Rocky cliffs and shoals are numerous. Exposure to ocean swells. Estimate 13+ miles in total. Trip Tic: URL for this route is: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4590865 We will most likely hang at Ogunquit Beach for an hour on the south side (Small sandy beach) of the river mouth, not the beach itself, as the tide changes the beach terraine very quickly. Low Tide in Cape Neddick 5:51 pm ... High Tide 11:45 am Cape Neddick Campground will let us park and launch from their boat launch for a $5 launch/parking fee. Last time it was waived because we had dinner at the Lobster Pound but that is never a guarantee. Pay for parking in the campsite office. Ask for Jack. If you plan to eat there, tell him. He may waive the fee at that time. Photos of last years trip: http://www.pixel8er.net/Other/Cape-Neddick-to-Ogunquit-Beach/13182211_8shvK#956673594_RKrrW Doug

Should I also tell my wife not to expect me home for dinner, because I'll be joining friends at the Pound? -Bill
August 4, 201113 yr I'm planning to attend as well. Sounds like a good opportunity for photos! I'd like to see what the weather's doing before I commit fully. Dustin
August 4, 201113 yr Author I'm planning to attend as well. Sounds like a good opportunity for photos! I'd like to see what the weather's doing before I commit fully. DustinI agree Dustin. If T-storms turn out to be a probability, we will move this to next week as there are not many bail out spots on this paddle. Let's wait and see....
August 5, 201113 yr About what time do you think you'd be getting off the water? (I'd love to join you, but have a 5:30 commitment in Cambridge, so it looks like a real longshot.) Thanks ...
August 5, 201113 yr Doug: When do you expect to make the go no-go call? It is a minimum of 1.5 hours drive for me. Is there a sheltered area nearby for a back up paddle? Liz

August 5, 201113 yr Author Glenn & I will make the call by noon tomorrow. Right now it looks 50/50 go or no. If we cancel, we will do the trip next week weather permitting.This is not an area to put ourselves with a of thunderstorms.Also, if we cancel, we may paddle somewhere on the NH coast where there are bail out areas.Thoughts of some surf play perhaps.An added note:We typically get off the water by 4:30-5:00 on this trip.Doug
August 6, 201113 yr Author RE-SCHEDULED because: Showers early then scattered thunderstorms developing later in the day. High around 75F. Winds SE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 60%. Seas 4-5 feet which limits rock play in glass boats. New Date:: Saturday, August 13th, 10:45 launch. Right now the extended forecast shows Saturday the 13th as being the best of the 2 weekend days. Of course, that could change, so keep posted. Tomorrow, Sunday August 7th.... for those interested in surf play. A couple of us may play at Jenness Beach, NH tomorrow. Metered parking. Contact me by email if your interested to keep this thread active for next weeks Cape Neddick to Oqunquit trip. Most likely we will be there around 12 noon or after the main bout of showers stops.
August 7, 201113 yr RE-SCHEDULED New Date:: Saturday, August 13th, 10:45 launch. I'm signed up for the NH AMC Paddlers Sea Kayak Workshop next weekend, so I will not be able to join you on August 13th. Have a nice paddle. -Bill Voss
