Several of us are paddling over from Woods Hole to West Chop to play the Middle Ground tide race on 10/6. If you haven't been there, it's one of the nicer tide races in south New England, accessible by a ~3.5 mile paddle from Woods Hole. Flood starts at 10:51 and (the show)ends by 16:50. Ideally, there would be an easterly wind component for the day.
If the forecast is for a strong SW seabreeze, we will instead paddle the 8 miles from Woods Hole to Robinson's hole, and surf downwind in Vineyard sound (back to Woods Hole). This is a Naushon island circumnavigation with some nice wind surfing on the second half. Strong thunderstorm forecasts would force us to a 'park 'n play' day in Woods Hole passage.
Please post here if you're interested, and I will keep you apprised of trip plans. This is not a beginner trip. I'm hoping this will be a great warm-up for Greg Paquin's Autumn Gales event.

Jordan,
tried to send you a pm, but am not sure it went through. Send me your email address, and I'll add you to the trip roster.

I emailed Jordan a trip sheet. We have a few more spots; if anybody else is interested, send me your email, and I'll send you a copy, too. Please note this is a level 3 / level 4 trip.
