  1. Joe, what a great summary of a really wonderful trip. Back a week and it still feels a bit like a dream.
  2. Mike, how can I transfer my two slots for Feb 18 to Britta? Lorrie and I can’t make it. phil
  3. That works. Now to figure out how to transfer them to you.
  4. Hi Lorrie and I can’t make the pool session coming up next week. Can I return the slots? Otherwise, who wants to take these slots at our cost? Phil
  5. A not inconsequential issue is that the "fee for instruction" model has a higher liability risk than the existing peer practice model.
  6. With all due respect to the reality that cold water paddling is an added challenge to an otherwise risky sport, Avery’s claims of death within seconds are hyperbole and not supported by accident reports or the medical literature. I don’t want to diminish the added risks of paddling in the cold water months, which these cold water workshops have nicely addresses over the years. Thanks for organizing and let folks know if you need assistance when you run the program. Phil
  7. Hey Brenda, Cohasset boat ramp, hingham Harbor, and the driftway boat ramp in Scituate are all open. Parking could be challenging as everyone is doing what they can to get out. phil
  8. Rob, is the recommendation for hot packs a specific recommendation for jellyfish stingers? I would have thought initial application of cooling to reduce swelling in the immediate period after insult. Phil
  9. maybe I missed it, but dont forget clothing. A hooded fleece, thick dry socks and and a cap can add what feels like 10 degrees to the comfort level of a sleeping bag.
  10. Lorrie and I are interested. phil
  11. Lorrie and I will join you. Good fun on this paddle. Still have our info? best Phil
  12. Sorry if this is behind a paywall, but really kind of cool. Take home is that Neanderthals (who weren't our ancestors to be precise) likely colonized islands that could only be reached by some sort of watercraft. http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/04/neandertals-stone-age-people-may-have-voyaged-mediterranean best Phil
