The preliminary route is approximately 14 - 15 miles and has us launching from Colt St Park and crossing over to Prudence Island. We would follow the eastern shore to the southern tip of Prudence. Lunch stop would either be at the southern tip of Prudence or at the Light at Sandy Point about 1/2 down the island.

This route does cross the East Passage Shipping channel in Narragansett Bay and there are ferries from Bristol - Prudence; so there could be some traffic at times on the water.

Current forecasts are for sw winds 5 - 10 knots increasing to 10 - 15 knots with seas to 2 ft. Water temps in Narragansett bay seem to be in the low 60's.

You should be prepared for the weather and sea conditions. I am not the trip leader but the trip organizer.

Let me know if want to attend this trip; either by posting intent here or by PM.

It may have been my suggestion that we paddle to Mexico for lunch....
