  1. Rob, Cathy and Warren, If it wasn't for the minor detail of not having a boat, I would have joined you. Great pics and report. Dave
  2. Common, that's either a photoshop technique or a double decked kayak. Although, if I took out the bulkheads in my Tsunami, all those people might fit.
  3. Looks like everyone had a great time. I'm looking forward to Dec 28th. My one goal: roll baby roll Dave
  4. Great night of food, fun and above all friends. Congratulations to Cathy, Pru and Bill for a job well done. Dave
  5. until

    I plan to attend. Thanks Dave Merriman
  6. Hi Nancy I'll bring an appetizer . What about drinks? Dave
  7. Josko, I apologize, it was my mistake thinking that I thought you had passed. Pru asked who I thought passed and I mistakening thought you had. I think in the minds of the teabags you had. Dave
  8. Welcome back Warren. Sounds like one incredible trip. I can't wait for you to regale all the details. Dave
  9. Gary, as much as I enjoyed the inaugural weekend I regret that I will not be able to attend this year. I decided to do some additional training and signed up for the Midcoast Rendezvous with John Carmody. Dave
  10. It was a perfect day on , off and under the water. Cathy, thanks again for hosting the trip and Pru for yet another inspiring trip report. Dave
  11. Warren, Congratulations. Of all of us, I think you dedicated the most time and work toward this goal. Dave
  12. Congratulations Rob. It was great that the group truly supported each other in our mutual goal. Dave
  13. Thank you Pru and Cathy. It was an absolutely fun time. Dave
  14. Rick Earl's website Earl Backcountry Survival Tablets http://www.meetearl.com/#features
  15. Rick Google Earl Backcountry tablet. This is more than a GPS so it may be overkill for your purposes Dave
  16. Both sets of pics are fantastic. Great action shots. Bob, thanks again for organizing the L3 paddle. I particulary appreciated how you and Blaine kept everyone informed throughout the entire paddle yet still allowing for exercising options as a group. The unannounced capsize as a training tool was a nice touch. Dave
  17. Doug If not too late please add my name to attendee list. Dave
  18. Doug Wasn't sure I could make it but if there is room I like to join If there are over 10 I go home no big deal
  19. Thank you everyone for your comments. I stopped at West Marine today and bought a length of cable. Pulled out the old one, measured the correct length and cut off the excess. I had an easier time cutting the cable than the guys at WM. Ed you are right that the trickiest task is to cut without fraying it. I used a tip from a Wilderness System video and ground down the ends which certainly facilitated insertion. I was off by about 1/4 inch and trimmed it after insertion at the skeg end. A couple of fine adjusments and I was up and running again. It really was easy. BTW, the 8 feet of cable cost me $9. Another skill added to my kayaker belt.
  20. I don't know how. There were 5 of us paddling last week in Muscongus Bay and 3 out of 5 had skeg problems. I had a rock jammed skeg and had another paddler pull it down. My guess is that when I landed the skeg was forced back into the box and that's when the cable was bent
  21. I have a kinked skeg cable on a NDK Pilgrim Expedition. Is there anyone in the Portsmouth NH vicinity that repairs skegs and or sells the cables? Replacement doesn't look that difficult but still not sure I want to attempt on my own Dave
