With kayaks on the roof. I'd like to solicit the nor'easters' opinions on a logical stopping place in between; last year we stopped just the far side of Hartford, but we'd rather be in a place this time where we'd feel a bit more secure about the boats up on the roof racks (they will be cabled, but you know). Wouldn't mind sticking to the coast if it makes sense, and also would covet a spot where we could toss the boats in the water for a bit of a paddle before dinner. We've thought about just swinging through Mystic, staying in town and putting the boats in for a paddle in that River. But of course we've kind of been there (but haven't done that). One of the goals is to avoid too much rush-hour traffic on a morning departure after the overnight stop; that's why we did the far side of Hartford before--- going north from there is counter-commute. Ideas? |

I don't know if folks Kayak the river but if you like a challange try this one. At portsmouth it's very close to the bay with a very strong current (5+ knots at times) iy could be discribed as white water ocean kayaking! There's lot's of nice places to have a bite & if you can make it a Friday you'll be very welcomed at the Press Room session or on Saturday the 18th will be the next sea shanty session, if you want to make both you & yours are welcome here at my place for the lay over. It'd be great to see you sinced we both missed each other at Mytic. Barry |
