Place, we shall meet at 7:15 AM at Indian island County Park. We should park at least two automobiles deep as this is a small parking area. It has very pleasant permanently, fixed toilet. We shall have our beach get together 45 minutes later 8:00AM with a little prompt launch at 8:15AM.

whether.  I do not plan to paddle against rough conditions, should they occur. We will resort to our Plan B. We’ll do a car shuttle to Flagler State Park at Marrowstone Point, and do a one-way paddle between the islands terminating at Morristone Point which will give us an opportunity to play in the current there as it will exchange, as it changes from ebb to flood.  It is quite dynamic and a lot of fun or you can sit it out on the beach.  In case it’ll be fun. We’ll meet at the scheduled time above and play it by ear from there.
