August 20, 201113 yr I am most likely as well. I will confirm later today. Sadly, I will not be free to join you after all! Have fun!
August 20, 201113 yr I'm in too. But parking might be a big problem, I know, I've been paddling from Lanes almost every day for the last couple of weeks. If there are lots of divers at Lanes then parking might not be impossible for all of us. I recommend that as many as can double up should do so. One solution is to meet and double up at the Burger King on route 128 North (about 250 feet beyond exit 19).

There are 2 places to park and launch: Along the wall and sandy area at the other end of the cove. We can converge at the sandy area for a beach briefing on the water.
