*NEW TOPIC STARTED -Nickerson Beach - Spectacle - Georges

Post by Chip »

I am thinking about a trip from Nickerson Beach in Quincy to Spectacle and Georges. About 10 miles with a couple of long stops. Probably 10am launch. More to follow once I check my schedule. May have to limit this due to limited parking.

I'm interested but I may have to work that day. Hopefully they will reschedule the work or not need me to participate.

I may have a prior commitment, but if I can clear it I would be interested in this trip.

We just joined Wild Turkey, interested in this trip...any rooms for 2 more? We got a 21 foot tandem Northstar, how far do we need to carry the kayak from the parking to the water? Look likes the parking is on the street.

Thanks,
Jim

I am going to have to bail. If someone else wants to take the lead you can go for it. Otherwise I will re-schedule.

If I help out, I can save everyone's energy by not hiking around in between making good time from island to island :P

Let's reschedule, I think people were looking forward to your plan for the day :)

I couldn't make the 21st (but now I can- a prior engagement cleared) but it looks like it's postponed to the 28th... is that correct?
I'd like to paddle this so I want to be sure (if there's still room). I'm not familiar with Nickerson Beach... if it's the parking that's tight to limit numbers and there's a higher interest - is it not possible that 'some' paddlers launch from a nearby location and meet up with the Nickerson group? Just fielding a thought...

Hi Linda, The date is now the 28th. The 21st was a tentative date. Sorry if I messed people up. The parking is the reason for the limitation. I may have to change the launch anyway due to tides. Your idea of a dual launch is a good idea if needed.

cychan, the general method is to temporarily park next to the beach, offload your boat(s) and then drive a hundred yards away to some limited parking. Can't imagine why you wouldn't want to carry a 21' tandem kayak around. ;)

The 28th high tide is 2pm and low tide 8am. Does anyone know how much water we need to get out of Nickerson Beach? I know there is a sand bar there. I don't want to launch much past 10 am. Paddling around Thompson wouldn't be a problem if that is an option. I suppose wollaston is an option as well.

OK, people can hate me but why there are replies to a tentative paddle that say you can't go defies logic- for me... anyway I DEFINITELY WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND THIS PADDLE... the suggestion to use Wollaston Beach, with a 8 am low- well I'll just bring my MUD boots. That's not enough to deter me. I'll follow the thread for updates... THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS TRIP!

Linda - noboby will hate you, but I do disagree with you. I like seeing that people are interested in the trip, but just can't make it on that particular date. It makes it clear that it's a trip that there's a good chance that another group could be assembled to do the trip on a different day. And for the record - I'm interested but can't make it on the 28th. :(

Point well taken, board just gets 'messy' - maybe I'm neurotic?

I'm really confused now. Is August 28th still the date? If so I am interested.
