PICS: Lanes Cove to The Dry Salvages & Rockport


Doug

Recommended Posts

We headed out of Lanes Cove promptly at 10:30. From the very start we split up into 2 groups. This option was discussed at the beach briefing. One pod of 3 which I was in took a tight coastal rocky path and the majority paddled directly to the Dry Salvages beyond the breakwater.

We planned to converge at the Salvages but 5 from the "speedy group" that had already made it there b-lined it to Rockport after hearing the threat of thunderstorms and warnings to get off the water. A little deeper monitoring of the situation led us to the realization that this warning was issued from the Falmouth / Cape Cod area so no emergency was at hand.

Three from the other group joined us where we had a nice lunch & mini hike at Straitsmouth Island. Many laughs were had at the expense of two runaway kayaks.

Eventually both pods converged again near Halibut Point and returned early to Lanes around 3:30.

This was a basic trip report. As always, it was really more juicy than that. LOL

Doug,

Thank you for planning a great trip. Good weather, good conditions, great friends and good times. It doesn't get much better than that! Too bad I did not have my camera readily at hand when the helpful bystander came to the rescue at Folly Point. That was a missed Kodak Moment! LOL

Yes, thanks, Doug, for calling a great trip, and awesome pictures as usual! One thing to add to the trip report is that we were 11 in total (!)

HERE's the track from the "non rockers" pod (13.9 statute miles total), and HERE are some more pix (I pasted a few from Leon in there, too).
