Westport River, West Branch - Friday - 9/30/11 Launch 9:00am

Post by norm »

Second try at paddling the west branch of the Westport River. This time planning to launch at the top on the west branch.

Sue and I will be carpooling from the Rte. 106 park and ride at 8:00am and I could take one more if anyone is interested.

Planning to launch at 9:00am. It looks like the side road to the boat ramp is at 320 Westport Harbor Road.

High tide is at about 11:00am. I'd like to check out the West Branch of the river and maybe head out to the mouth of the river if it's not too rough. May head into the southern end on the East Branch also. Will probably paddle 10-12 miles.

Wet exit/Rescue skills are required.
I would recommend at least a 14 foot boat.
Ability to paddle over 10 miles.

Please reply if you plan to attend so we will wait for you if you're running late.
