There will be a Level 3 paddle launching from Kings Beach / Fishing Area (on Ocean Drive, Newport) on Saturday, 03SEPT2022. Launch time is 10:00AM, and I'd recommend allowing more travel time than usual, due to traffic in Newport during the Labor Day Weekend. So far, the marine forecast looks good: West winds 5-10 kts, seas around 2', high tide at 1:48PM...however, check "Changes and Cancellations" on the Sea Kayaking Message Board for any updates, which will be posted (if warranted) by 10:00PM Friday. Hope to see you there!

It's looking good for Saturday...the marine forecast is very mild: 5 kt. winds with seas 1 foot or less. This will probably be more of a touring paddle than a rock garden event. Tony

Just a reminder. Don't confuse the King's Beach Fishing Area with the King's Park area on Wellington Ave. in Newport. The launch is from KING'S BEACH FISHING AREA on OCEAN AVE. (For a GPS address, use: 400 Ocean Ave, Newport, R.I.)

Wish I could have joined you, but I already had a trip on the RICKA flatwater calendar. I did paddle my new Capella. Hopefully next time.
