Re: Thursday Hingham 8-25

Hey Bea, you want to paddle with the boy and I, you can have the front seat of the double? All you would need is your paddle, life jacket and skirt.
Or if not Bea, anyone else interested in riding in front seat of the double, with a toddler and myself riding behind?

Re: Cohasset Current Play Sessions

Wednesday the 10th the high is 5:30pm, although it's only an 8 foot tide, can play the incoming tide at Little Harbor starting around 3-3:30, and probably be back at the put in by 6ish. Small tide but would be a good introduction to paddling in current.

Re: Cohasset Little Harbor Current Play

Wednesday the 27th, I'll be there this week heading over around 3:30ish to play the incoming tide, which is high around 6. Will be able to paddle out of Little Harbor probably shortly after high tide, getting back to the put in a little after 7. If interested please respond, if no one is interested ...

Cohasset Current Play Sessions

Anyone interested in current sessions at Little Harbor? I'm thinking perhaps an ongoing Wednesday afternoon session, playing on either the incoming or outgoing tide, whatever works out with the tide that week. Great venue to work on boat handling in moving water. Can work on eddy peels, ferrying, an...

Re: Cohasset Harbor parking

So far as I'm aware unload your gear and boat at the ramp, and park between the lobster pound and Atlantica. It seems like paddlers are also launching off the marshy spot on the other side of the parking lot, especially at high tide, rather than use the ramp. A wee bit slippery though. The harbor ma...

Re: Windmill point over night parking

Yes the southwest side would be easiest. You need to watch out for the sand bar that runs from Lovell Island to Great Brewster, at lower tides you need to cross closer to Lovell, and that puts you on track to land on the Southwest side. There's a decent sized field with a gazebo and firepit, it's pr...

Re: Windmill point over night parking

Kind of sucks they tightened the parking down to a 2 hour limit, probably need a commuter sticker to get around that. Could ask at Jo's Nautical if they'd let you park overnight there. Or maybe the yacht\saltwater club further down might let you park overnight. I think you can pay for overnight park...
