Thanks, Norm. That definitely clears it up. I wish Google Earth was live so I could see about what time of day the parking starts to fill.

Re: Windmill point over night parking

Norm, so you're saying that you're not launching into the gut but WILL have to go through it to get to the harbor, right? Or is your location further out on the Boston Harbor side?

Re: Boy Scout canoe trip

On June 25, high tide is about 9:30. This puts high tide at the Hanover launch at about 1:00. Making a round trip from the Hanover launch is tricky, unless you're thinking of a fairly short trip to the Washington St. bridge and back, which is barely 3 miles total. The problem is that with the except...

Joy, there are probably a lot of people that would prefer to leave earlier. Not sure if they're going this week, but the majority shouldn't have to cool their heels because only a couple of us can't get there till later.

I have to go to the dump and bring home a few trailer loads of compost, mix it with what I dug out of a new garden yesterday and then fill it back into the garden. If I have anything left, I'll be there.

Hi Jim, If I were you, I'd come. The training isn't far off shore, and we're all fairly close together.

Re: Thursday Skills May 19th Kick off

Looking at the tide charts, Thursdays appear to be right on the cusp. I don't see a big advantage either way. On one Thursday, low tide is about 1.5 hours before we start, the following, it's about 1.5 hours after we land. As the season progresses, there should be a slow shift and it'll become more ...
