If anyone on the list has paddled out to Marthas Vineyard from the mainland [Falmouth/Woods Hole area], I'd be very interested in reading/learning about your experiences, and shooting some questions your way. My brother and I intend to make the crossing this July and are eager to tap all sources of information. Will be happy to share with the list what we learn about this particular sojourn -- one we've both wanted to do for some time, but schedules, finances, living hundreds of miles apart has prevented us from doing until now.

Dear Jim, The currents in the Woods Hole area are absolutely some of the hairiest in New England. You will see four foot chop there on an average day. I have played about there once, but I am not good enough yet to voluntarily make the crossing to the Vinyard. I trust you will get better advice from the more experienced. Have a good trip. If you want to stop by for a beer just e-mail and we'll work it out.

Check out Charles River Canoe & Kayak's web page: http://www.ski-paddle.com/cano/canoe.shtml They are a good outfitter and trip runner. They run a Wood's Hole - Martha's Vinyard trip. Maybe they'd be willing to share with you the infomation you need. I went on several trips with them when I was living in Massachusetts, including a Wood's Hole - Cuttyhunk round-trip, the longest day trip I'd been on at that time. Most enjoyable. It was led by Dave (?) Jacques, the owner.
