Launch time 10 am.

Level 2+ because there will be some long-period swell crossing open water, and distance is about 9-10 miles.

Water temps are lower 60s, with air temps in the high 50s.  Insulating apparel is strongly recommended (wetsuit, hydroskin, drysuit)

To find it on Google Maps, search for Gooseberry Island, Westport, Mass.

Please RSVP so we know if we have enough people (3 minimum).]]>
