Wow, I totally missed this thread! I guess that's what I get for being too preoccupied with hiking and snowshoing in the winter.. And I'm not free this Aug anyway, but maybe it will be so awesome you will want to do it again! Troad, I remember talking with you last summer about doing this, and I'm sorry I won't be joining you this summer. Have a great time everyone, maybe next year! Beth

As a new(er) member of NSPN (ie maybe 8 years or so..) I look forward to meeting and paddling with you!

Looks like one may be for sale here, look under 'Another yard sale" just a few posts down...

Oooh I am SO sorry that I will miss this fabulous affair! I am co-leading an intro winter camping trip this weekend, and it looks like the weather is co-operating (no -20 temps) so our trip is on... and I will be sleeping in the snow, dreaming of yummy potluck delights as I digest my freeze dried dinner. Please eat lots of goodies for me!

Excellent, you just convinced me! I'll start checking airline prices tomorrow...

Hi, I know some of you have gone to this in the past, and enjoyed it. I'm seriously considering it for this spring http://www.bajakayakfest.com/index.php Anyone else on here planning to go? Beth

Sorry I missed you all on NY, Happy 2018! Dan, It's been nice knowing you...

I'm interested

Definitely interested, but I have an evening commitment, so I'd have to leave on the earlier side. I'll keep an eye on the weather and this thread, sounds like fun!

On the calendar!!!

Make sure it is adjustable in size so you can wear a warm hat/hood under it if need be. I like the NRS adjustable model, but the one I have doesn't have a brim. Personally i like wearing a baseball cap under it for the brim.

So sad to hear this! I only paddled with him a few times, but I have good memories.

Whoa! Yes, I got knocked off my feet once, and almost pulled into the water, while ocean watching on some rocks on a "calm" day in Hawaii. I never even saw the wave that hit me; but I still have scars where I clung to the lava shoreline for dear life as the retreating water dragged me towards the edge. I've never forgotten that moment, glad you didn't have a similar one!

Congratulations!! Great job both of you, I can't wait to see what adventures you cook up next!

I just slap a coat of West system epoxy on every year on the worn spots, and the epoxy seems to resist wear better than the fiberglass did.
