Thursday Night Hingham Paddle - 5/22/14

Post by norm »

The weather forecast for this Thursday looked pretty bad last night but looks better this morning. Might feel a little chilly with an air temp in the 50's but there is a much lower chance of rain than the forecast had yesterday. Water temps are still in the low 50's, so proper paddling clothing is required.

Marine forecast: NE winds 5 to 10 kt. Waves 1 foot or less. A chance of showers. Vsby 1 to 3 nm.
Boston Water Temp: 53.1 degrees

High Tide this Thursday is at 6:55pm and sunset is at 8:04pm. I think we should try to be on the water by 5:00pm. I hope to arrive by 4:10 or so.

Proper cold water gear and rescue skills are absolutely required with the water temperature in the low 50's.

Please reply if you plan to attend and state whether you plan to stay for PPR or not. If it turns out to be raining, we can still get together for PPR.

Norm,

Count me in for paddling, if it doesn't rain.
If we can't paddle, I would love to go for PPR.

On radar, it looks like a line of rain showers is headed our way, but hopefully it will move through Hingham before launch time.

I'm in for PPR only. Yes, I know I have to earn it, so I promise to loop around Bumpkin twice next time!

That sounds good to me. It has been raining in East Bridgewater for over 2 hours now. Question is what time is PPR?

Made it to Himgham finally. It is raining lightly. Rowers are out on the water. Geese are on the grass with 6 little babies. Porta-potti could use a cleaning. Jordan just arrived.

Is there going to be a paddle on 6/5/14?

In case you are wondering who I am, I think I've met several of the Wild Turkeys over the years, but have never paddled at any of your events. I've even been lurking on your website for a long, long time. I've just always been more active in NSPN. I moved to the South Shore recently and am looking to meet more paddling neighbors. As luck would have it I can get out of work early on Thursday, so I'm hoping there is a paddling opportunity!

Hi Marc,

A few of the regulars are not available this Thursday, due to varying issues, so it was decided by the
general flock that we would skip this Thursday.

Hope to see you in 2 weeks.
