Time: Late morning, early afternoon
Length: about 1 1/2 hours
Place: Back Beach, near downtown Rockport, MA
Distance: n/a
Grade: B+
Notes: My first time kayaking in the ocean. There were definitely some new challenges getting in and out of the kayak while it was bouncing in the waves. The sea was also a bit choppy so learning to react to the waves was a bit of a challenge. But all in all, a good paddle for the day. I went out and around a rock cropping, being careful not to get caught up in the waves crashing up on the rocks. I then paddled over to Front Beach where I took a break and had some snacks, before heading back.
