Nauset Marsh - Wednesday, August 4 - Recreational

Post by craigmsherman »

Hi,

I'm planning to be on the Cape for a mid-week trip, and I thought it might be nice to get out on the water mid-week. I'm thinking about putting in at the Hemenway between 1:30 and 1:45pm. I'd like to paddle out towards Inlet Marsh and back. It will be a low tide ride out to Inlet Marsh, but by the time we get out there, poke around a bit, etc., the tide should be coming in for us to ride that back to the launch site. We could head into Nauset Harbor, Woods Cove, and/or Town Cove to round it out. Aiming for a 6-8 mile paddle, probably 4 hours or so.

Anyone like to join?

As always, I'm open to advice and suggestions, too.

Craig

Hi Louise,

Not very. I'm a first year kayak owner and I seek out flatwater destinations at this point. I'm trying to time it so that the tides will be with us rather than against us, so that should help. You should come along!

Hi Craig,

I have the day off so I'd like to join you on this trip. I will be there ~1:30pm if the traffic gods are with me.
