New England

Wayne suggested the idea. At first I was waffling. I had been out on Saturday and wasn't sure I wanted to drive all the way to Rhode Island, but I woke up to clear blue sky and almost no wind, so I decided it would be a lot more fun to paddle on the ocean than going to the Connyak pool session.

A big group showed up at the parking lot at Fort Wetherill. Dave, Doug, Kate, Beth, Pete and Donna, Phil, Tony, John, and Wayne were there and the conditions looked perfect. We headed right, going along the rocky cliffs to the west of the put-in. There was a slight swell making the water move in among the rocks. Those so inclined played around in the rocks, looking for passages that became available as the water surged in and out.
