thanks! sounds perfect. shari

thanks Al... I'll leave a little earlier so I'll be ready to go on time. might need a hand carrying boat down, but can manage alone if need be. see you sat.

I would also love to join in. Timing and location is great. I also need to be back by around 3pm. I will be on site at Pavilion around 9:30am. could someone give me more specifics on how to find "pavilion/greasy pole" or is it posted on the website? any parking glitches to be aware of?

thanks!

Late Sept and Oct are great camping months in area so maybe something then. For a day trip, tides look good August 29 and almost as good August 1 for a trip out to Eagle and/or Jewell and back from the southern tip of Orr's by the cribstone bridge. Aug. 8/9 for a trip into Quahog Bay from same location. Just ruminating for now and checking interest level.

Ed,

What do you anticipate for trip level and distance. I am interested in the Aug 8 or 9 for sure. Maybe also the 29th.

Shari

I plan to arrive at 11:00. Fairly slow paddle (resting for Saturday's Blackburn) either towards Essex or Folly Cove. Any interest? Respond here or to leon dot g at verizon dot net.

i'd love to take a rain check.... no can do today, unfortunately. shari

Count me in! See you friday at 11am! Shari

Gene,

I may be able to join you. Is there parking at Tucks Point? I am assuming you mean Manchester??

Shari

David, sounds like a great paddle however I can't make it that day. If you do something like this in the future, I will try to join in.

You can rent kayaks out of Discovery Adventures in Lanesville in Gloucester. That is a great spot to start out from.... you are across the bay from cranes beach and there are tons of gloucester and rockport coves to explore. their website is: discoadventures.com . good luck!

never thought of glo sticks... don't have any... appreciate a loan if there are extras. thanks.

Kevin,

Count me in, it sounds like fun. I will check out the directions. I assume that we are parking near the put in? I will just need a hand from someone getting my boat off the top of my van... pretty high up. thanks!

Kevin, I might be able to join you tonight. Having never paddled with you or in that harbor, what conditions/skill level should I expect? I am an intermediate paddler but not a speed demon. I have a 17'shenai/wilderness systems sea kayak. Shari

Hi Daniel,

I am in Wenham and would be interested in joining all of you. I'm an intermediate paddler, but happy to get out on the water with any group. I would love to explore Salem since I have never paddled there. I have been out and around Manchester, Beverly, and Essex River Basin. Email sharigallant@verizon.net or (978) 468-0234. Thanks!
