Duxbury Bay
I'm just throwing this one out on the porch to see if the cat laps it up.
Duxbury Bay - Monday, Aug 8.
Here's what I'm thinking. Summer weekends can be pretty busy for people. Getting a free weekend day is tricky. Maybe it'd be easier for people to just plan to play hookey for a day. Also, if it's not a weekend, we may have fewer pleasure powerboats to deal with.
This is the trip that I suggested some time ago. I originally suggested a one-way shuttle deal, but shuttling is pretty globally distasteful to everyone, so we'll make it a round trip. Leave from Powder Point Bridge, head south down the Duxbury Coast and then cross the bay (1.5 mi) to Clarks Island. Then follow the inland shore of Saquish and Gurnet back to Powder Point. If anyone has a good reason to go clockwise rather than counter-, I'm all ears.
High tide is approx 2:30, which is pretty convenient. Total trip length - 10 mi.

I rearranged my vacation time to include this day (but it won't matter if it doesn't happen).
My other weekdays off are: 8/12, 8/14, 8/26, 8/28
I may be going away on some of these days but I might be able to sneak in a trip here or there.
The weekends of the 6th and 20th are almost definites for kayak trips.

Pat,
Sorry to hear about your Dodge. After reading the posts, it looks as though Monday's trip to Duxbury has changed to Dorchester Bay. And now it looks like it will take place over the weekend.
I am already scheduled to paddle down the Cape Saturday. I am unsure if I can get out on the water Sunday. So perhaps our paths will cross some other time.
