There is a 4 hour time limit for parking at the Amherst Avenue launch so vehicles have to be moved after unloading. We will be crossing ferry routes so I will research their arrivals and departures. Please note the distance we expect to paddle and the long crossings and be realistic about your abilities.

Safety reminders
Always dress for the possibility of immersion and please bring a drybag containing a spare change of clothes. The drybag goes in your kayak with you, not in your car at the launch site. Please bring a lunch or snacks and sufficient beverage to keep you hydrated, as well as a thermos of something warm. Your paddle leader will introduce the plan and make sure everyone is comfortable with the requirements. Please stay off the water until the group is ready. If you have a VHF radio please bring it with you.
