Thanksgiving season is full of traditions and this one, passed down from the now defunct 'MASK' and 'LIKE' groups has been one of gathering at T.Roosevelt Park in OysterBay on the Saturday after Thanksgiving for a group circumnavigation of Centre Island.

This year's (counterclockwise) Circ will be 'launching' promptly at 10am to take advantage of the morning high water (10:22 H) and allow us to explore deeper than usual into the unnamed tidal creek on the eastern shore of Centre Island. So plan your arrival time according to your own set up needs.

Water temps will be like 55° and air probably about the same, so dress appropriately for immersion (& for staying warm onshore during our portage/ snack break later in the trip)

You'll definitely want gloves or pogies; but a neo hood you can always pack along but really not a necessity unless rainy.
Currents will be slack or negligible all the way around & actually helpful for the final push home after our lunch/ soup break.
Trip is going to be rated for our L2 paddlers & will cover approx. 8-10 miles.
Launchsite[ ](https://goo.gl/maps/4KF3XHW9wm62)**[is @TRM Park](https://goo.gl/maps/4KF3XHW9wm62)**[,](https://goo.gl/maps/4KF3XHW9wm62) next to the boat ramp:

Required Gear: PFD, spray deck, paddlefloat, pump & safety whistle,
VHF useful but really not necessary as we'll be staying close to each other, or at least close to someone with communication as we inevitably spread out.

be advised, there IS a portage involved so if you can manage to pack your cart wheels along that would probably help some.

Happy Thanksgiving & see ya's there!
