Great trip report and photos! Thanks Peter ( and Pru for your wonderful photos!). It was a wonderful weekend. One correction - Friday, Day 1 group 2 went around the Porcipines and also Ironbound where we encountered some big slow swells (several sets of 4-5 feet swells) along with some lively conditions. Very funny photo...the deadpan expressions next to Peters is a riot! Janice

Sounds like it was a great way to spend a hot summer day! Nice trip report! Great pictures too!

Thanks Pru for your photos and great trip report. It was a wonderful weekend with wonderful friends. Stonington and Saddleback Island have become my favorite place to paddle! I can't wait until next year!

I won't be there as I'm heading up to Saddleback really early tomorrow. I think a few people last week said they'd be there but I don't know given the weather.

I'll be there too, but a little late due to work. Boat is on my car Janice

I think I will opt out of tomorrow's CAM session. I was on the fence for this weekend to begin with as I've been really busy. Have fun and stay safe. It does look like there are lots of options. I hope to see you all on the water soon. Janice

Congratulations Sid!

Congratulations Sid!

Congratulations to you both! You've both been very generous in sharing your skills and knowledge and paying it forward. Hooray for you two! Janice

Great trip report Nancy. It sounds (and looks) like it was a wonderful time. I'm sorry I missed it. Next year! Janice

Great trip report and pictures! Looks like a wonderful time was had by all! Janice

I'll be there with an extra nylon spray skirt and my boat. Janice

Oh, maybe that is mine! I'm having HHS check. I think I could have brought it in to the wilderness first aid course. I'll check. Thanks Cathy Janice

Anyone find a red helmet at a Haverhill pool session? I think I left mine there. It's the last time I've seen it and I can't find it! Thanks, Janice

Wow, your trip report and pictures really do inspire! Thanks Pru! Janice

I plan to be there also Janice

Great trip report and pictures! Great that you all took the plunge...burrrr! Janice

Yes, it was a great workshop. If I only retain a small portion of it all, it was really worth it and if I keep attending, more will sink in! Thank you again John Huth! It was great to see people too! Janice

I'll bring a main veggie dish - probably gypsy soup/stew with bread Janice PS don't forget musical instruments if you have one!

We hope to have a big turn out for our Cabin Fever Winter Break Out Party on January 30th at the Gould Barn. To insure that we don't end up with dozens of delicious cookies and no main meals, please post here what you are planning to bring - either specifically or a category (ie vegetarian main dish). We are a very talented group of paddlers who like to eat well with lots of great cooks among us! If cooking isn't your thing or you have no time, store bought is also great - just come. This year we will not be having the trivia contest but instead hope to have music as our entertainment. Please bring whatever musical instruments you enjoy playing or sit back and enjoy others playing. And...the raffle is shaping up nicely! See you there!

Congratulations! That's great!

It was a wonderful weekend. What a great group of people to camp and paddle with together. I'm in for next year! Thanks Shari and Gary for all your work and everyone for making it a great weekend!

Anyone going to Chebbaco tonight? Dusk is coming earlier and earlier

Great trip report! It sounds like a delightful and exciting paddle! September 27th there is a super full moon and lunar eclipse at 9:07 PM - hopefully the weather cooperates.

Thanks Peter for organizing this wonderful trip. It was my first time in Stonington and the area is so beautiful with the different rock formations. I also really enjoyed paddling and camping with new and old friends. I'm on for next year! Lots of islands to explore!
