Wednesday evening paddles, normally less than 6 nm. Come out after work on Wednesdays and get a little on-the-water socializing, exercise, skills practice and “therapy”. These trips are open to all kayak course graduates and equlivents. They are not structured to be an "experience paddle” for course graduation. Bring your boat, required gear and essentials, and be ready to launch from the boat ramp at Boston Harbor at 6pm. Expect to return to the ramp between 8:00 to 8:30, +/-. Actual destination will be determined by group consensus under leader direction/discretion.
I expect this sea kayak trip to have this difficulty and plan to paddle in up to these conditions (view the sea kayak difficulties definitions on our Activity Types, Difficulties & Prerequisites page):
