Posted by Erik on 7/12/2024, 7:19 am

Hi folks - this month’s Meeting on the Water will be Monday, July 15th will be at Fort Wetherill, meet at 6pm for a 6:30 launch, returning by 9 pm. The Fort Wetherill Scuba Diving Lot is located at: https://maps.app.goo.gl/mVfd2RHZHiBSDrVFA

Details from the RICKA homepage are here: https://www.ricka.org/meetings.html

This will be a great opportunity for experienced flatwater paddlers to get a taste of RI’s rocky coast. We will paddle will round the point to the east and through the dumplings to downtown Jamestown and back, about 4 miles. It could be windy. We have established Potter Cove as a backup location for use as needed, so please track this thread for updates.

Please note that this is not a beginner trip. You must be an experienced flatwater paddler to participate. Boats 14-feet or longer are required, and a spray skirt is recommended. Bring boat lights or a headlamp for use as needed.

Please contact me with any questions.

Definitely not Jon Sharlin quality, but here are my pictures from last night’s RICKA Meeting on the Water.

11 boats – good mix of flatwater and sea kayak. The fog rolled in pretty much as we launched, so the views weren’t great, but it was still a fun trip.
