O.C.T. - 08/02/08 – Yorktown Sea Kayaking

At present the trip for the weekend of 08/02/08 is Goodwin Island in Yorktown. It is nice with some WWI artifacts/history in it. However, I would be willing to change this trip to a place I have not lead a trip for the Coastals before. I was thinking of Annapolis MD would be a good choice. Annapolis is some what scenic and a different place to go than previous trips. I know it is a little far and gas prices are up but it is an option.

If there is enough interest I will change the trip location.

Possibility of 2 boats from the Coada stable to join you. Wife and sister might can do, I'm DJ'ing Sat night.

Richard.......do you wait till the last possible moment to announce these sea kayak trips so that I cannot personally make it myself???? LOL

BTW, I finally installed a rudder kit on the Sisters Kayak. Stay in touch and let me know what you decide.

the trip is scheduled to go from the Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis MD. The trip here is good for Novice paddlers and I plan to do a 7 mile round trip. If all the paddlers in the group were experienced then a trip around the Naval Academy would be my second choice. I have had correspondences with A sea kayaker in the Annapolis area and the following replies:

"Chip
Thank you for your information and cooperation. I did get permission to launch
from Quiet Waters at the beach next to their dock. It is still a quarter mile
hike from the parking lot so a wheeled cart would be good to have. I do like
your recommendation of Truxtun Park, but I have not done that before so I am
unfamiliar with the tides, currents, winds, motor boat traffic, etc. Seven miles
is a good length for this trip as I usually get novice/Intermediate paddlers
sometimes an older paddler or two. Anyway, I will post today that the first
choice is Quiet Waters with the quarter mile hike and the second is Truxtun
around the Naval Academy.

Thank you

Richard Walters

> But maybe you checked into it and have got an arrangement? If not, check out
the city's Truxtun Park. I frequently launch from Jonas Green park (free, no
launch but a sand beach) across the 450 Bridge from the Naval Academy, but the
parking got tight there since they are doing some construction.
