Dock wisdom

Manchester Yacht Club offers the only sailing on the immediate beach -- the junior program fills fast, and adults can book the evening sails.

Gloucester is 20 min north for whale watches and serious fishing charters -- worth the drive for the full Cape Ann marine experience.

The Manchester Harbor anchorage is well-protected but small -- call ahead for any boat rental availability.

Take the commuter rail to Manchester and kayak out of Masconomo Park -- the train-beach-kayak combo is the ideal Manchester day.
