Picnic afterwards at Pete and Donna's. 33 Niantic River Road, Waterford. Watch for more details on the homepage.
**Tentative paddle**
Depends on interest.
Great location for birding. Some rock gardens to experience. Rocky shoreline and can be windy. Check weather forecast and plan with others. Located at eastern side of Newport.
ConnYak will be launching at this site also. It'll be a joint club paddle, just not by design. Destination TBD, along with ConnYak members
Destination TBD (Napatree, Watch Hill, Sandy Point, Fishers Island) Lots of boaters (power, sail) to be expected.
