I found this article about kayaking Wacouit Bay and circumnavigating Washburn Island (sort of). It definitely sounds interesting but it's a wonder the person who wrote it even likes to kayak.
Check it out.

Kayaking Coastal Massachusetts has it "a must-do for kayaking Cape Cod."
My friends did go, it didn't rain, they had the island to themselves except for 2 Bard Owls all night. They loved it.
Shallow protected waters in the bay, more exposed water and Nelson-like conditions in the Sound. 3 natural areas, more flora and fauna, good fishing, "best off season."
A lot of cove and inlets, sound like a weekend full of adventure.
Where kayakers camp today, native americans once fished and hunted. The Mashpee Wampanoags, the "people of the first light," claim their people lived at Waqouit Bay "since time.'
I would be interested.
