Just checked the beach. Pretty clean, for once. It's cold out there, and won't be warmer tomorrow morning. You're all welcome, as always, to stop at the house on the way to the beach to get your drysuit on and such. Restrooms on the beach closed after Labor Day.

I suppose I could roll out of bed and down the hill and go for a paddle. Might have to go find rocks.

We'll squeeze in at least one more session at the lake this Thursday. 5-sunset, which isn't as long as it was...

See you there

You're just a stick-in-the-mud...

I might be persuaded. Still like West Beach better, since I'm lazy.

Looks like this steal has been stolen. Post deleted.

Yup. “Fairly new kayaker” and “small craft advisory” don’t belong in the same sentence, except in news reports. Conditions aren’t suitable for the trip as originally proposed. A good exercise would be to learn what the forecast means. Drive to the overlook at Miingo Beach to get a view from above, then go to West Beach and take a walk on the sand, keeping in mind that you’re only seeing the sheltered side.

Forecast is now for 3’ seas, with 14 kt south wind gusting to 21 kt. Small craft advisory after 11 am.

So, gather at Lynch Park at 9, then carry boats and kit up, then a beach briefing and launch?

I’d probably go for a shorty dry top over a poly shirt and long or short light neoprene pants. Maybe a drysuit if I intend mischief.

West Beach is also open now, and would provide a less muddy launch with a shorter walk.

See you there.

See you there.

Ken, the light of the full moon does the job. You should have some sort of lights, but we won’t expect to use them. You can get a light that clips on your PFD for $10 or less Liz, hope to see you there.

Looks like it will be a great evening to get out on the pond. I’ll be there by 5.

Weather looks good. I’ll be there by 4:30 today.

Let’s keep an eye on the weather. Lightning cancels, but rain doesn’t. If it rains we get wet, and if if doesn’t we get wet. I plan to be there.

Tomorrow will be a perfect day for a paddle on the pond. Come practice your strokes and falling out of your boat and getting back in. 5:00 at the boat ramp.

See you guys tomorrow.

Pavilion Beach in Ipswich or Gloucester?

It’s going to be a great night to be on the water. 5 pm at the boat ramp. See you there?

Yup.

Should be able to make this one.
