I'd love to come. I'm not familiar with any of the places (yet) so whatever everyone else decides is good with me. Janice

Count me in. I really enjoyed the solstice paddle and can't wait to get in the water again! Janice

Hi, Im still trying to figure out how to post correctly so I hope this works. I'm looking forward to coming to the L2 paddle. Thanks for organizing it. This will be my first trip. Janice

Thanks for your advice, that is what I needed to hear. I was a little anxious to go out for the first time without having practiced some of the safety skills. I will wait to go out until after I've been to some of the Lake practice sessions (maybe it will clear up today!). I keep telling myself that summer hasn't really started yet so there is time. I do know it is not fair to put other paddlers at risk by my own inexperience, that is also why I thought I'd ask. This sounds like a great trip - have a great time and I'll see everyone on the water after I've practiced some. Janice

I'm not sure if I should come as I recently joined and I have only kayaked on lakes (though I'm very comfortable on a kayak). I recently bought a 14 foot Necky Manitou with a keel and have been out on it twice - once the Shaween, once in a pond. I did go to the new to sea kayaking workshop and I have a skirt, paddle float, etc. I wanted to go to the practice sessions on Walden Pond after work first but the rain has put that off twice so I have not rolled or practiced taking a skirt on and off. Do you think this would be a good first trip? I think I'm supposed to ask your permission to come as the trip leader. What do you recommend? The "easy paddle around a marsh with bird books" made me think it would be a good first trip. I don't know what 6-11 miles on the ocean means as I have no experience with that! Let me know. Thanks, Janice

I would love to come. I've kayaked in fresh water, never in salt water and I went to the workshop for ""new to sea kayaking". This is my first post!
