Hi, Well, on June 27, I have to (family pressure) attend a wedding (not mine) in Maine. I sent the invitation back (late) and didnt really make note of where I have to show but I think its Northwest Harbor. I figure I'll do the family thing on the 27th and then I'm free. Any suggestions on pretty paddles in that area for the 28th and 29th (my birthday... wont be goin to work hehehe ). Thanks Tom Rhode Island *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
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.
