Sea Kayak - Budd Inlet

Lets start the New Year with a kayaker style polar plunge!! We'll start with a paddle trip from Boston Harbor down the Eastern shore of Budd Inlet. On our return, we'll stop at Burfoot Park so that those who are interested can practice wet exits and rescues. Or just play in the water. Yes, immersion gear is required, unless approved by the leader in advance.
