Saturday Seekonk River?

Posted by Skye on 7/14/2020, 8:16 pm

We are thinking about a trip from Bold Point Patk in East Providence, north on the Seekonk River towards Pawtucket. I will iron out details tomorrow, but weather looks good and with the other posted trip full, I wanted to give people another option.

This trip will be limited to 12 including us. If anyone has a particular time request, we will consider it...

Great!

Let’s say 11am launch time? Spray skirts recommended for the crossing. We will go north towards Pawtucket as far as we like.

Bold Point N 41 48.928 W 071 23.431

Directions:
Take 195 east to exit 5, Warren Avenue. Turn right at bottom of ramp onto
Warren Avenue and follow to end (1/8 mile). Turn left onto Waterfront
Drive and follow to the end. Bold Point is right in front of you.

Some alternate directions: the exit numbers have changed and the new exit number is 1B. Take that and stay right, then take the first right on Mauran. The second left is Waterfront... take that to the park on the right. The launch is on the right.

Face coverings and social distancing are required at the launch and take out, and any time people are closer than 6’ apart. Everyone will be responsible for their own equipment and launch. You do not have to wear a face covering while paddling, but you need to have something with you at all times for this purpose. Do not attend if you are ill.

If anyone needs to cancel, we need to know before 8am on Saturday as we will be offline. That way others can join in in the opened spot. If anyone doesn’t have our contact info, please reach out - I don’t want to post a cell number here but my email is on the RICKA website under board of directors. We do not have mobile internet, so if anything is posted here on Saturday morning, we won’t see it before the paddle.

My neighbors just decided to take me up on my offer to take my kayak on their family vacation to Maine...so I will not be able to join you tomorrow. Enjoy the paddle!

Thanks to everyone for being early - it's a good thing! About ten miles later... we earned our sundaes.
