Chebacco Lake Skills SessionsThis event began 06/09/2016 and repeats every week on Thursday until 09/22/2016
Come join us at Chebacco Lake Thursdays at 5pm. Practice strokes, rolls, rescues, falling out of your boat, or watching kingfishers. Rick Crangle and I will be there tomorrow to get the season started. Bring boat, paddle, skirt, PFD, and any new gear you want to test. Dress for immersion. The water's pretty warm by now.
We meet at the boat ramp at the south end of the lake, and hang out in the cove to the left of the ramp. You can either get off 128 at Pine st (exit 16) and head north on the dirt road, or find Chebacco road off Rt 22 in Essex and avoid the dirt. No entrance fees. No rangers to kick us out at the end of the evening, but the mosquitoes do the job just fine.
