Thanks for all the work necessary to make this happen Mike!

Lake Massabesic (Auburn NH) paddle on Sunday, November 12, 2023. Looking to paddle locally. Lake Massabesic, the water supply for Manchester, NH is a 2560 acre lake with 32 miles of shoreline. The lake is nestled in the southeast corner of the intersection of 93N and 101W in Manchester, NH. It's about an hour drive from Boston. It's a scenic paddle with very few homes on the lake.

Awestruck doesn't do my reaction to this report justice! Thanks for taking what I can only imagine as the painstaking effort to capture this extraordinary adventure... and sharing it. It's a poignant reminder that our sport goes way beyond planting a paddle in the water to include history, culture, skill development, weather impacts and mitigation, decision-making, nail-biting experience, good friends and much more.

While Carl did sell Osprey, he continues to do repair work.

I'm in.

I'm interested subject to location and launch time.

Hi Tom, The boat has a flip-up rudder and twin venturi self-bailers. The carbon fiber venturi profiles can just be made out on the underside/hull about a third of the way back from the bow in the above picture. This review from paddling mag shows the color configuration (grey on white) provides specs and importantly shows the two plugs to the bailers just aft of the foot braces/pedals. The boat for sale is a 2018 Gen 1. Stellar Kayaks, S16S [Paddling Buyer's Guide] (paddlingmag.com) Cheers!

I'm out. Thanks for the effort Sue!

Trying to move my schedule around. I'll confirm Tuesday.
