Beyond that you should make sure you're in flat water conditions and have had some self and assisted rescue practice. Being a half mile fr...

Re: Around Duxbury Beach, Gurnet, and Saquish

Hope you found someone to go with. All depends on your paddling speed and the conditions on a given day. Seems like it would have been a nice day trip.

Re: Little Brewster. Off limits?

The last couple of years, access to Boston Light seemed be restricted to only Ferry based travel, and with Covid that had stopped too.

We've been out there probably 15+ times over the last two years. Hope one day, access will re-open to us.

If you don't have an alternate paddling location, perhaps we can do a few Skills nights back to back.

Open to go with the flow, I don't mind the wind but understand it can be a drag.

Happy to do another skills night, at a location that suits folks.
