Thinking about doing an early paddle out of Squantum Sunday morning with the high tide. Explore Thomson Island and the bays around there. Might go across to Spectacle and Long Island if the weather is calm and boat channel traffic light.
This will not be a beginners paddle - could have some rough boat wakes.
Will add more details later tonight - gotta get going on today's trip preparations.

Is launching at 7:00am too early? High tide is at 7:16am. I was hoping to check out the marsh in Thompson Island and Hope said it is only accessible at high tide.
I gotta go make myself a hamburger. More details a little later.

Excellent! Launch at 7:00am it is!
The launch site will be Nickerson Beach. I have not been there before, but researched it once before when somebody else was planning to use that spot. It looks like you can drop the boats and gear there and then park up the street a little.
Here is a map URL I found from an earlier trip:

See you in the morning.
