So yes Gerry I suppose I can wait but realize that the geological clock is ticking. With the waves battering and the coastline eroding I fear the Cape will soon be a sand beach. Or perhaps the continents, always drifting, will once again collide to form a single, giant land mass. What of our Cape then? A long since forgotten memory thrusted skyward into a jagged mountain peak? People will wonder why the highest point in the world is called Mt. Porpoise. I'm really not in shape to to do any mountaineering and I don't enjoy having to haul things on me back. So yes we wait but lets get out there before Cape Porpoise becomes Porpoise beach or worse...Mt. Porpoise. Ross

This could be our chance high tide @ 1:30. I'd like to check this area out days are getting longer so we'll have that much more time. Anyone? Ross

Lets start kicking around ideas for next Sunday

Seems as if there isn't that much interest in this paddle I may stay local and head up there some other time. Perhaps even next weekend, depending on the tides and weather. I am thinking of heading down to Manchester by the Sea. I will post that as a separate trip if I decide upon that. Ross

Folks have been chomping at the bit to get up up to Cape Porpoise. Anyone interested in this coming Sunday? Ed here is your chance. Popham also a possibility. Ross

Meet at Kettle Cove beach parking (Ocean St. off of 127) @ 11:00. Ross .

Yes that would be good, give a call 914 489 2673 tomorrow just to confirm

I'm off for the week. Anybody interested in joining me for a paddle tomorrow in Manchester by the Sea tomorrow 2/17? Ross

Hey folks, any NSPN musicians interested in getting together to play and sing sea shanties or any other traditional new England tunes? Something fun and different. Ross

Ok thanks for the message hope you get better. Pete and I are still on for anyone else who is interested. Ross

Sounds good. Surfing would be fun also. My number is 914-489-2673. Call tomorrow if anyone needs to communicate. Ross

Just spoke to Pete and we are still on for tomorrow. I really want to get out there even if if its for a little while. So, yes its a go. Ross

well seems as if perhaps we'll depart at eleven later than ten better than seven thats all right with me and plenty of time for Cathy's morning tea the route we could choose when we arrive just as long as we're back by five sunset is around 5:15ish maybe paddle around Garrish? or just play amongst the rocks It'll be cold, so wear warm socks wear a helmet to protect your head oh and Pete, I'll be in my kayak that is red SUN NW WINDS 15 TO 20 KT... DIMINISHING TO 10 TO 15 KT IN THE AFTERNOON. SEAS 2 TO 4 FT. (we'll keep our eyes on Sundays forecast complete) today there is a gale warning We can decide tonight or in the morning This weekends been cold and windy so far if it continues I may stay home and play my guitar Ross

Come on Sal don't be shy ryme a few words just give it a try So if the weathers not fierce we'll all meet at pierce back in the saddle for a full day's paddle then drink a toast our exploits we'll boast we decided the where but what of the when how about we assemble this Sunday at ten Ross

The frigid air our soul to test. We have thought of pushing forth Not to travel South or West but to the ocean to our North Not Southward to warmer sea and air. where lesser paddlers go but to the land of cold we dare to the land of ice and snow though the details not worked out we will thus communicate All interested parties give a shout and we'll set the time and date.

Yes Jon I have been checking the site for plans I wasn't that interested in going too far North. I may be interested in a Portsmouth paddle tomorrow but not too early. Give a call tonight anytime i'm up late. Ross

Hey Suz, I was happy to see your post because just the other day I was thinking to myself. "What else should I be doing besides just washing my dry suit". See ya then Ross

I may be interested in a Sunday paddle. Ross

Yes Kim and I were just out for a walk and the temps are really cold. We'll have plenty more weekends. I'll probably do some x-country skiing the conditions have been very good for that. Get in touch if anyone is interested. Ross

Probably Rockport launching @ 10:00 whose in? Ross
