I use this spiral bound set from Maptech-a bunch of charts for modest money and waterproof.

Welcome! 
Keep an eye on the Events section of this forum.
Many of us have more than one boat, too. Is the rest of your gear still in transit? 

The remaining six of us decided to head to the Brewsters, and were lucky to have just enough water to cross the Great Brewster Spit, making a direct course for Little Brewster for a few lighthouse photos.

We then rounded Great Brewster and returned to Lovells for a short break. We considered our options for the channel crossings as before, and with Janet and David as elected navigators we opted to return as we had come, from Nix’s directly back to Deer Is. Light. 

Joe’s warning about hidden northbound boat traffic in The Narrows was prescient, and a whale watch boat we had failed to spot earlier slowed while nearby as we held our position, seemingly mostly for the curiosity of its passengers. 

By this point the tide was turning, and we landed back at the Winthrop ramp around 3:30, and loaded our boats just before rain approached from the south. 

Posting here to gauge interest... 

I've wanted to try heading south from Winthrop, and explore Fort Warren on Georges Island now that it's open again.
9nm round trip, or more if we feel like adding more islands.

Please have a seaworthy boat 16'+ and practice with assisted rescues. Radios suggested.

Free parking at the town boat ramp in Winthrop. 9am meet. Low tide 11:30am. Thunderstorms would cancel.

Any takers? Reply here or PM me.

What’s the address of the launch spot? 

I'll look for updates re. an evening zoom session with the Manchester harbormaster, or whatever else. 

Does anyone have a stash of these, or know where to look? My pre 2007 square hatch boat’s rubber covers are slowly disintegrating.

 
I’m also open to suggestions for DIY replacement, with neoprene plus a fiberglass lid, or whatever…

The Hingham harbormaster's office hasn't returned my call either, and they are on very limited office hours, so I can't imagine issuing & enforcing camping permits are high on their list of priorities right now. 
Can anyone who has camped on Langlee before weigh in on this?

What do folks think of camping on Langlee? Small island with 3 sites and no ferry. I've read that permission is from the Hingham Harbormaster.
