  1. Darn, I can’t do it after all - sorry, a case of wishful scheduling!
  2. I would like to join. Thanks, Jim!
  3. Here's an update on this paddle series, now that my 2024 calendar has solidified: - I have removed the single repeating event from before, and replaced it with individually scheduled events on the dates that I am available. So if you look now you will see Sunday Morning North Shore Paddles for June 9, 16, 23, 30, July 7, 28, August 18 and 25. - I'll be posting individually to the Trips forum the Monday before each paddle, at which time I will open up the RSVP list. - These paddles do not follow the Common Adventure Model. Unless otherwise posted I will be leading or co-leading these trips with an experienced paddler. - Note to other trip organizers: please don't be concerned about conflicts with this paddle series. Go ahead and organize other things on any given Sunday when there is a Sunday Morning NS Paddle! Choices are good!
  4. This new series of paddles provides a regular weekly opportunity for members to get on the water outside of the workweek. There is no set trip level: all skill levels are welcome. Trips will be tailored each week to the makeup of the group. If desired, opportunities for skills practice will come up naturally without a set curriculum. Except where noted, all launches are at 8:00 am Sundays from Riverhead Beach in Marblehead (parking is $20). This is a very protected put-in with access to a wide range of paddling options from sheltered to adventurous. Typically we will return around midday. This early launch time avoids car and boat traffic, minimizes wind conditions, and leaves paddlers free to enjoy the afternoon. RSVP will open up a few weeks in advance of each trip when a post will be placed in the Trips forum.

  12. If you have any Canadians in your group they could call in an emergency. The VHF would still be usable on the water for group comms although technically not legal. it also seems to me in case of a true emergency some radio licensing fines would be low on one’s list of worries. All that said I think a Garmin inReach mini is an excellent investment. They have global coverage and work in areas with poor VHF lines of sight.
  13. Sue, Thank you so much Sue, and a big thank you to all the participants who lent their time and energy to this event! It was a great pleasure for me. If there are future iterations of this course, I know they will benefit from everything that I learned from you all this time around. Joe
