Saturday, 9/15 - Duxbury Bay
Meet at Howland's Landing at 10:30, launch at 11:00. Route can be flexible, but probably across to Saquish, and from there, out to Gurnet Light or around Clarkes Island.
This is going to be an easier paddle than many that have been posted. I expect a moderate pace and a couple of stops along the way for lunch or knee and back realignment.
Guestimates:
10 miles
3 hours
Requirements: at least a 14' boat, sprayskirt and rescue skills. Ability to paddle at least 10 miles at 3mph.
Bring a lunch and the usuals (water, sunscreen, etc.)

A cold front coming through is bringing some showers, but they appear to be petering out, and it should be long gone by launch time. Probably some breezes behind it that will give us a little texture. I hope that doesn't scare Jordan away. I know how he hates that stuff.
Re: Saturday, 9/15 - Duxbury Bay
Sorry, everyone, for the late notice.
Something came up and I will not be able to attend.

Pat, that's actually not too far off.
I made a batch of brownies with
walnuts for you guys.
Sorry.
At least my son will be overjoyed.

Re: Saturday, 9/15 - Duxbury Bay
A friend spotted me from the water yesterday fishing from their boat. I went over to chat with them. They were catching schooly's. Nothing of substantial size when I was talking with them, but who knows how he did as the day progressed. They were biting though, all three of them were getting hits pretty frequently.

Re: Saturday, 9/15 - Duxbury Bay
It was great to get on a real paddle again. I might get a couple of more in before the year is over.
