But the first question in my mind is: Why in He!! would you launch at Tidelands with the intention of paddling what - something like 5 miles back to the bait barge? Whats wrong with Shelter Island?
I launched at Tidelands because I had read that at that time the tide was going out and made it easier to paddle to the barge and and the tide came back in while I was drifting so i got one continuous long drift back to the launch. It worked out pretty well but in the future I will be launching from shelter.
