Hey all.  I would like to join in the Humpy Classic next month, but kinda need some info before I do.  Looking at the tides for Aug 8th it looks like a nice low 0.42 at 6am to launch.  Never fished out of there, so I don't know what the beach is like.  I do have a cart with wheels that does OK on sand/gravel, but not so much on mud.  Problem is, I am still stuck with a *(&^*&%^(*&^&^% weight restriction, which I am slowly working upwards (but it's way less than my boat weighs!).  So my wife and/or son will probably be doing sherpa duty for me to get the boat out to the water.   

Since it looks like a long (!) slog to water at low tide (judging by the pic on google maps), what's the quality of the beach for carting it?  Neither of them is a fisher type so we'd have to consider footwear if it's not sand.


Thanks

Jim

The beach is pretty firm and sandy. Pretty easy to walk on, its not muddy at all.

Where can one learn more about said Humpy Classic?  I'd love to participate. 
Plan your work, and work your plan.
