AMC Trip - Circumnavigate Gerrish Island - 9/7/13

Post by norm »

Jerry Smith is leading a trip around Gerrish Island in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on Saturday, September 7th. The trip is level 2+. There are a few turkeys already signed up for the trip, including myself. I believe AMC trips have a limit of 12 participants. I don't know how many are signed up now, but there are a few openings left. Email Jerry using the address on the AMC link below if you are interested.

Here is the link to the AMC website and the trip listing:

The distance will be about 14 miles with a couple crossings of areas with potentially 2 to 3 knot currents. Arrival time of 10:30am or earlier at the Odiorne Point put-in with a strict 11:00am departure due to tide dependent spots on the trip. Wetsuits or dry suits may be required if the air temperature is below 70 and the water temperature is below 60.

Sound interesting. I'll see if there's still a spot left.
