    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.
