Hi Cam
I'm a competent paddler and do some rock-play. I'm driving from Weymouth MA and curious how long the paddle might be time-wise just to make sure its worth the drive?
If 4 hours or so I'm in. Also, being new to RICKA how would the group feel if the paddle ended early but I wanted to stay out solo. I'm comfortable w/ the risk and distance.
Have helmet will travel-lol
Thanks for posting

Hi Bob. A typical paddle from Ft Wetherill lasts about 4-5 hours, or a bit longer - depending on group consensus and energy levels. We should be back to the put-in around 3-3:30. We prefer to go out as a single group, stay together, and come back with the same number of paddlers -or more, not less ;-) Please note the posted time, 9:30, is the launch time. We recommend arriving 30 minutes before, to download boats and gear up. For a general description, please see the Trip Levels on the RICKA Sea Kayaking home page:

I'm in Medfield MA, not quite as far from the RI coast as Weymouth but close. I've always found the RICKA paddles to be worth the drive.
