Full Moon at the Sandspit Wednesday Aug 5

Post by Mark »

We did this a couple times in the past, paddling out to the Sandspit at the mouth of the North and South Rivers at low tide, watch the full moon rise over the ocean as the sun sets, have a picnic dinner, play frisbee or beach football, etc. then paddling back on the incoming tide. Kate and I are planning to do this tomorrow evening with my brother and my daughter. If anyone would like to join us, please post to this thread.

Launch from the Driftway in Scituate around 6:00 - 6:30. Low tide is about 6:15, with Full Moon Rise at 7:45 and sunset at 7:58. Forecast is for hot summer weather, and a 20-30% chance of T-storms (20% after 7PM), SW winds at about 10 knots.

Mark,

I may be up for this. Don't wait around. I'll either show at the launch, meet you at the spit, or be a no-show.

Hi Steve: OK, great. Jess and I will be launching probably more like 5:30, and then Kate and my bro will be putting in probably closer to 6:15 - 6:30. We are going to keep an eye on the weather and probably make a Go/No Go decision at around 3-4PM. So far it looks like 30% chance of T-storms. Of course if it is cloudy that will kind of spoil sunset/moonrise.

I'll post later in the afternoon if anything changes.
