We will meet at Boston Harbor Boat ramp for a 6 PM launch.  Please arrive allowing enough time to prepare and be on the water by 6 PM.  Destination and pace will be adjusted to fit the group and weather conditions at the time of launch.  Restrooms and limited parking available at the ramp, a discover pass allows additional parking options.
