USS Salem paddle - Sat 8/13

Post by Chip »

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?

...hmmm...somehow I feel like I was with you on this trip... :-)
Like a "football widow", I lose my spouse to kayaking for some part of pretty much every weekend :-)
