Wellfleet Harbor 7-10-2012

Post by EDGECRUSHER »

Very nice day, sunny with blue skies, 5 mph breeze. Being a Tuesday, boat traffic was very light, kayakers outnumbered them for sure! :o

Three of us made the jaunt, still trying to convince brother Sean of the virtues of length, and rudders, but alas, he still holds comfort above all else! I love the way my Capella feels with the v-hull compared to my rather round bottomed Necky, the latter to soon become my loaner vehicle. Brother Eric planned this trip, and led the excursion all day, making it look very easy, and his constant referencing of the fried oysters to come kept us following him!

Basically left the town pier towards Great Island beach for stop one, out to Jeremy Point for lunch and a swim, over to Lieutenant Island, then back to pier, in 4 or 5 hours or so. Nice time for sure!

First stop, Great Island beach, with evidence of their 10 foot tidal change. So the cliffs are 60 footers!

Incoming tide turned Jeremy Point into a little island! Time to shove off....
