Introducing a New Hampshire practice session.
When - Tuesdays - 5pm launch (see dates listed below)
Where - Odiorne Point, Rye, NH
Launch at 5pm from Odiorne boat launch. Paddle out to Little Harbor where we can practice strokes, rolling, rescues, stupid kayak tricks, falling out of your boat, and anything else we can think of. All skill levels are welcome, and encouraged to attend. My goal is to develop this into a practice session where, in the spirit of NSPN, we will have plenty of experienced folks willing to assist and encourage the lesser experienced paddlers. Bring boat, paddle, pfd, and any gear you would like to practice with, or gear you would like to learn to use.
For those who are new to kayaking, and looking for some salt water paddling experience, when conditions allow we can end each session with a short paddling trip.
While Little Harbor is a great salt water venue to practice in, it is really only suitable for rolling and rescues during the upper half of the tide cycle, therefore this will not be a weekly session. I have identified Tuesdays throughout the season when the tide is favorable for practicing these skills, and listed the dates below. These dates will also be posted to the NSPN calendar.
Please remember, ocean water in our area will never warm up like the area lakes do. Dress for the water temperature. Dry suits required for the June session.
Scheduled dates:
6/20 HT 8:21pm
7/18 HT 6:57pm
8/1 HT 7:25pm
8/15 HT 5:36pm
8/29 HT 5:43pm
9/12 HT 4:18pm
9/26 HT 4:05pm
Launch times for these practice sessions will be 5:00pm. If you would like to attend but cannot arrive in time for a 5:00 launch, no worries. When you get there paddle out into Little Harbor and look for the kayakers.
If you plan to attend one or more of these sessions please reply to this thread.

This event begins 06/01/2017 and repeats every week on Thursday until 09/28/2017
Come join us at Chebacco Lake Thursdays at 5pm. Practice strokes, rolls, rescues, falling out of your boat, or just watching kingfishers. Dress for immersion. A wetsuit is warm enough, and keeps down the bruises from climbing back into your boat ten times a night.
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.
