Saturday 4/19 Boston harbor /Hingham bay out of Houghs Neck

Post by pdetorres »

Hi All

Moderate paddle this Saturday launching at 9:15 AM from Houghs Neck public boat ramp in Quincy (directions below)
Full coldwater gear (drysuit,etc.) required, 15 foot plus kayak . Route is flexible depending on conditions: could be out to Lovells and back through the gut (unsheltered) or bumpkin and Hingham bay and even up the Fore river (more sheltered).
an early season warm-up. Bring lunch or a snack . I and a friend will be definitely going and we look forward to some company.

Regards

Pablo
