This trip is now a go! Registration form is live.

I am in if openings still available

Sounds good to me as well!

Hi David. Saturday sounds good.

Bump

I’m planning to launch from Mere for Jewel Island, and would like to return probably a little later in the day on Tuesday unless the weather is dreary.

8-10nm

What is the distance you’re talking about? I’m interested for sure.

I'm in. I was there today and there are now portapotties. I'd be in either way but thought people would like to know.

This trip is on. Post below if you're interested.

Earth Day paddle! We were David Mercer, Bill Doucet, Mike Habich, Barb Ryan, Ricardo Caivano, Fred Goodman, Sue Hriciga, and myself. If you were looking for a lot of crazy water excitement you would have been disappointed. But if you were looking for a relaxed early spring venue in a beautiful stretch of coastline with a great group this checked all the boxes. We left West Beach headed for the Rams with a strong tail wind. We knew the wind was predicted to drop in the afternoon and since it was offshore we could get some relief on the return. There were occasional places to play in the waves with the small long period swell. I think Ricardo got the best trip of the day, or at least the only one I got pictures of. Our lunch and turnaround was at White Beach. On the way back we played a little at NSPN Rock (not sure how it got that nickname) but there wasn't much action. This is a great place to paddle. We should petition Beverly to let us launch there year round.

Thanks to all the presenters and helpers who put this together. I found it very informative. It's a big help to have someone explain all the pieces and tradeoffs (e.g., what are all those pieces of clothing and when would you wear them) which you don't get from a web site. Really appreciate the effort to put this together! Doug

*Raises hand*

This boat is still available. Reducing price to $1000, includes spray skirts and other accessories.

Glad to know there are some who remember the shared great times with NSPN paddlers over the years/decades! Mary B, Bill H, Truly Yours, Prudence B, Dave M, Rene B, Paul S, Barry M, Roger T; Lobster Buoy Campsites

Marshall, Going to pass because the juice is not worth the squeeze. Too many questions about parking availability and the hassle factor. OTOH.. I'll see you at the Blackburn. I am entered in FSK.

I’d like to go. Getting blown out from my downeast trip.

Not bothering to give answers in white or any other color. Just know I scored 100% plus bonus points 😁🤪👍.

Said someone who might have taken a similar photo! Answers (including venue) in white, please.

It’s looking like I could do this !

Yes! Should be able to make it.

Sounds good.

I would love to join! Thanks Jim! (thought I'd answered before but don't see it here.) 🤔

I'm interested. Sandy

Jim, Right now my schedule is open.
