There've been numerous recent (July '23) reports of Man O'war jellyfish in S NE waters, and current southerly winds are likely to push them closer to shore. Ones' likelihood of encountering them when paddling in S New England for the next few weeks is higher than usual.

Isn't that the common adventure model? ?

I just follow somebody who looks like they know what they're doing.

I had one; filled up with water; got rid of it and went back to Werner.

Would anybody know of a reputable car shutttle service that could take a car from Bar Harbor to Lubec next week?

I'd love to show you what a canoe can do in a place like Woods Hole passage.

Maybe nobody is bothering to stock them.

There's a continuing decrease of interest in touring sea kayaks. I used to see groups almost every weekend around the Elizaeths; saw one last year, nd none so far this year. Theere's a thread somewhere here on the decrease in sea kayaker numbers.

Sorry, I referenced an older (Admiralty) chart 5011. It's on p.28, #12 of the current edition: http://saillavie.co.il/wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/2020/05/Chart-5011.pdf

Sunken Coptic church? (P302, #3)

Olympic 1 km kayak sprint is close to 10mph, marathon closer to 8 mph:

Am I the only one who finds ticks at Jewell are outrageously thick this year?

? Let me know if I can help; I'd be glad to drive up.

Just looking up at the sky can be helpful, too. I make it a point to ask folks on the water about the weather, environment, etc, and am a bit dismayed at how often they pull out their cellphone to answer questions like 'Which way is current going now?', or 'Is that thunderhead likely to hit us?'

Tie a ~10' loop in your towline and slip it over the coaming.

Don't forget sharks. ...and now whales.

It's worth checking/replacing the current bungee cord and skeg/sliding washers.

I find this an excellent forward stroke tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqXIF4ToUcE&t=1867s althogh it's targeting intermediate paddlers. Oh, and I have a world of respect for James Stevenson.

Peapods were built to tend lobster pots.

A bicycle has no primary stability yet works for most people.

Somebody got mph and knots backwards.

Tarantella or Taran 16 fit your needs to a 'Tee'.

IMHO, compared to an Explorer, a Surf feels tubby but more maneuverable. It's also at least a 1/2 knot slower than the Explorer with comparable effort. Handier in very shorrt confused chop, but harder to surf downwind and in larger tideraces.
