If you do, keep an eye on it. I was there a few years ago with a load of tea, and some jokers threw it all into the water. What a mess.

Hi Bass Hunter,

Good on you for asking this question, far too many boaties just launch and be damned with potentially diastrous results.

I have no idea of the Boston Harbour environment in terms of wave type, a three foot high vertical wall breaking wave can be a real problem for bigger boats than yours, whereas a three foot high rolling ocean swell can easily be tackled by a sea kayak. So I would advise being very cautious until you get used to the boat. As you gain experience you gain the ability to gauge how well the boat handles varying conditions.

The best idea would be to talk to Boston Harbour boaties and use their local knowledge gained from their experiences to top up yours. Good luck.
