JaneC

Joe id like to join you but I am in Roatan at the moment and will return Friday. Once I get home and reoriented I can be more definitive. It’s a long rush hour drive so I will have to see how things shape up if that’s ok jane

Looks good

One more thought pursuant to your earlier post. How will we know what is on for each week without having to dig through the site. That has always been an issue for me when it comes to Walden and to know who is coming on a week to week basis

Dan, This looks good. I was reluctant to give up rolling but the sociableness you've put into every session makes it look like lots of fun. I will plan to be there as much as possible - can't make May 7 and 14

Please count me in for pppo but I may have to bail depending on time and what I still have to do for Easter dinner

Looking to do a relaxed paddle to Malaga Island in Phippsburg Maine. New paddlers welcome. This is in generally in protected waters with some wave action, especially if there is a wind. This is meant to be a slower paced paddle with time to explore. Malaga Island is a MHCT island with a very interesting history (https://mcht.org/preserves/malaga-island). Would like additional support from other experienced paddlers Date: Friday July 5, 2019 Location:Malaga Island in Phippsburg Maine Distance: 7-10 nautical miles Launch time: 10 am Return time: 4 pm Pace: slower paced paddle ALL participants MUST: Be a current NSPN member (contact membership@nspn.org if you need assistance) Contact me personally via Private Message (you must be logged in) or email Wear personal flotation device / life jacket Boat with front and back hatches (if you don;\’t have one, let me know as I am sure I can find a boat to borrow Manage personal comfort (water, lunch, sunscreen, clothing, etc Group size will be limited by number of leaders, so a wait list may need to be established. Leaders, please contact me if interested in participating on this trip. Updates on this trip may be posted here, so those interested may want to click on the FOLLOW button to the upper right of this thread, however final details will only be shared via a group discussion offline.

Just wondering. I’ve heard it is going to be quite warm, especially compared to previous plunges. Given warm air temps and cold water what does anyone recommend wearing under a dry suit. I’m concerned about being too hot if I dress warm enough to go in the water i most likely will not be able to attend the pppo ?

Rest assured, I am always concerned about holding the group back. Please join us

Great. Thanks

Dan This sounds terrific. I wish I could go but,alas, I will be in Roatan

Me too

That was a very interesting report

Can’t wait. I’ll be there

Thanks to all the organizers of the Cabin Fever Party. It was a great evening

I’d love to see a picture. Sounds intriguing

I just made deviled eggs and meatballs - odd combination I know but I didn't see much protein on the menu

I’m bringing meatballs

I’ll be there . Not sure of food yet

I’d be interested depending on weather

I’m out for Monday. Could do Wednesday. If we find a good "lee" paddle I’m in on Tuesday.

I have already chinned in but I do concur with Prudence. Also PPPO sounds good

Since I haven’t paddled in a while I’d be interested in the shorter more sheltered route if we do decide to break up into groups

Name some paddling locations you expect to visit in 2019 or 2020 for which you don't already own a chart: Really don’t know but anywhere along the Maine coast and maybe RI If you DO own some charts, how do prefer to get them? (buy online, marine supply store, print them myself...) Online because the marine stores are very limited at this point If you were to BUY a chart, would you choose a $25 waterproof chart or an identical $10 paper chart? I have mostly waterproof but on occasion have photocopied and laminated paper charts How much would you be willing to pay to BORROW a waterproof chart that you didn't have for the duration of an NSPN trip? ($0 is a valid answer) I’m kind of a map geek and would want my own so I doubt I’d borrow but if I did $5 seems reasonable  Which of the following do you NOT currently own? waterproof chart case, deck compass, handheld compass, marine radio, tow belt, helmet Own them all

I’d love to come if it’s not freezing cold

Can you give me an address for the York harbor put in
