USS Salem paddle - Sat 8/13
The plan is to launch from Abigail Adams State park in Weymouth and paddle to the USS Salem in Quincy and back again.
Launch time 10:00am
High Tide 12:00 noon
10+ miles
This is a good transitional trip for those beginning sea kayaking. We will make few leg stretching stops and have lunch along the way.
Wet exit/Rescue skills and a sprayskirt are required.
I would recommend at least a 14 foot boat. Mostly for pace.

I might actually be able to make this one. Now...can anyone re-educate me on how to hold a paddle?

Welcome Ken.
Glad to have you along. I just want to make sure you are ok with the requirements for this trip. If so, we'll see you in the morning.
