Meet at the Boston Harbor boat ramp by 5:30 PM and ready to launch at 6:00 PM. Paddlers who want to be on the roster for this trip are encouraged to self-register before launch time. However, they can simply show up without registering and the leader will register them after the trip.
Wednesday evening paddles normally less than 6nm. Come out after work on Wednesdays and get a little on-the-water Urban Adventureizing, exercise, skills practice and “therapy”. These trips are open to all Kayak Course graduates and equivalents. They are not structured to be considered an “experience paddle” for course graduation. Bring your boat, required gear & essentials, and be ready to launch from the boat ramp at Boston Harbor. Actual destination will be selected by group consensus under leader direction/discretion.
