Hi Carmel, You're right. I forgot to mention that we paddled along the Little Compton Coast and passed by Warren Point before heading back to Sakonnet Point and into the harbor. I think it adds another 3 miles to the trip? :confused: I'll have to look at my chart again. Anyway, it was a...

Thanks Darren! I think that an accomplished photographer, like yourself, with an SLR in a waterproof case could take some amazing photos out in front of Sakonnet Point. You are right in saying that the conditions in this area of water can be "interesting." In fact, as I learned recently, that...

Howdy Folks, On Saturday 7-7-07, Carmel and I did a kayak trip from Second Beach (aka Sachuset Beach) in Middletown, RI to Sakonnet Point in Little Compton, RI. We awoke at 3:00 a.m. (Argh!) :eek: in order to drive our kayaks to the launching site by 6:00 a.m. We wanted ideal early...

Mahalo nui loa The webmaster speaks the truth. I not only used HIS truck for this expedition, I also borrowed his kayak (though not the forbidden one). Much thanks and gratitude to the man on the island. By the way, his Wilderness systems Sealution II tracked very well. I didn't have to use...

Last Saturday Carmel and I paddled the South Dartmouth, MA coast from the village of Padanaram to the Little River Bridge. We spotted my car on Potomska Road just past the the Little River bridge and drove in Carmel's truck with two kayaks down to the village. We put our yaks in at the public...

A Related Question On MITA :confused: I was interested in becoming a MITA member this year, but since it's late in the season (for me anyway), should I wait until next year when the new guide book comes out? I realize that MITA is a great organization, but I'm not sure I want to spend $50 for...

Cantdog, I've never gone whitewater kayaking but I'm sure it has many unique thrills (and perils). If you are looking to get your first sea 'yak, the rotomolded plastic ones are very durable and reasonably priced. I've bounced my Wildnerness Systems Alto against many rocks over the last 10...

Thanks Darren, Could you move this thread to trip reports so more people can see it? Mahalo nui loa, Dan S.

Carmel, I had a great time as well. I didn't take many pictures in the harbor because I was paddling like crazy to keep up with you. I did take some short videos on the island but they are so jumpy and out-of-focus that you would probably get motion sickness from viewing them. If this was our...

Last Saturday, Carmel and I drove down to Marion Harbor in my trusty old Subaru station wagon to do a three hour paddle. As we unloading all our gear (and beer) down on the beach next to the town wharf, I began to feel a terrible suspicion that I overlooked something. Yes, that's right. I had...

Great trip report Carmel! I think that a return to Muscongus Bay is definitely in order. Perhaps more kayaking and less drinking next time. :D
