Five experienced kayakers including a recent Sea Kayak course grad paddled from Boston Harbor WNW across Cooper Point to Edgewater Beach of Eld Inlet into what is known as Sanderson (cove)... Visibility five miles with a few motorized boats on the water. We stayed together to be seen more easily. Little to no wind after high winds predicted. Saw a few seals. Just meandered in the cove for an hour observing heron eating small fish as we talked about paddle strokes and life. A soft rain and mist met us as we left Sanderson cove back to Boston Harbor. Rain intensified mid-way back and visibility decreased to 100-200 yards. Turned on flashing lights. No boat or other vessels seen or heard. A few enjoyed rolling before paddling ashore. Everyone shared it was a good paddle.
