Re: [Paddlewise] Mt. Desert Island paddle suggestions?

Hi Tom,
      There are a number of interesting paddles around Mount Desert 
depending upon what the wind and weather are up to on any particular day. 
The boat launch area in downtown Bar Harbor is a good starting point for 
a paddle out among the Porcupine Islands or a tour along the National 
park coastline if you want a longer paddle. The beach at Seal Harbor 
which is near Northeast Harbor is a good jumping off point for the 
Cranberry Islands, Bakers Island, and again the National Park thougfh 
clapotis is often a problem when approaching from this direction. 
Launches in SW harbor offer paddles out to Gotts Island or over to Black 
and Opechee Islands. Launching in Seal Cove is good for Moose, Bartlett, 
etc. King's Creek offers a protected paddle up into an extensive salt 
marsh if conditions are bad. Enjoy.
                                                   mark
