Hoping people are watching this space for a last minute posting!
How about doing the trip Bob proposed for Friday? Launch from Hull municipal parking lot at 9:00am.
The wind forecast looks better for Saturday than Sunday.
Paddle across the main channel and head out to Georges Island, Gallops Island, Lovell Island and maybe the Brewsters.
There is potential for difficult channel crossings on the trip back after noon, so confident bracing is required as well as ability to sprint across and stay with the group.
Wet exit/Rescue skills are required.
I would recommend at least a 15 foot boat.
Ability to paddle over 10 miles.
Please reply if you plan to attend. I will not have a chance to reply to any questions till very late tonight - going on the NSRWA sunset/moonrise paddle tonight.

I'm thinking about it Norm.... I have to look over my weekend work list and see how much I can blow off to another day.
I will call you in the morning.

Glad Skip joined Joe and I for this trip. Safer with 3 paddlers. Much more traffic in the channels this weekend and pretty lumpy. Didn't paddle far, but walked around both Georges and Lovells Islands. Trip report to follow some time in the next week.
