Ms. Dew

I've volunteered to monitor relay racers from the BU bridge. I'm hoping to get some advice from a coordinator sometime before the event to figure out where I can park and/or drop off.

Paul, a quick read of the race packet indicates the 3 and 6 mile races are loops. Parking info towards the back. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/62f29bd77847013a6cd07cce/t/65c3f3e021ba255eafe3cabc/1707340769911/2024+Race+Book+(3).pdf

I've just signed up to volunteer on the water at the upcoming Run of the Charles paddling race. Was curious to see if any other NSPN paddlers would either be participating in the kayak race or volunteering with me. I'll be at the BU bridge on the Cambridge side to keep an eye out for the relay participants. Curiosity piqued? Check out details here: https://www.crwa.org/events/runofthecharles

Date saved! Is there a safety group like the Fishing Partnership but for recreational water sports? ACA? https://fishingpartnership.org

Sorry all. I’m still dealing with sinus issues. I won’t be making it tomorrow. Happy paddling and partying!

Ugh, got a sinus infection No paddling for me.

Thanks Barbara!

Hey all. Who's down to take advantage of the weather forecasted for Saturday and go for a paddle around the Back River and other spots in the area? Would look to meet in the parking lot at the Weymouth boat ramp (Carven Sr. State boat ramp on NOAA chart) at 9:00 am and launch around 9:30 pm. I believe they are not collecting parking/launching fees now that we are past Indigenous Peoples weekend. We may get lucky and the portapotties will still be around but in a pinch there are bathrooms down the road at Webb Memorial State Park.

Won’t be able to make it.

Feel better Karen!

Done. Excited to see everyone and paddle tomorrow

Is there still room?

Have been too busy the past few weeks to get this posted. I will be kayaking 5 miles on the Connecticut River on Sunday, September 10 in support of the 15th Annual All Out Adventures Kayak-a-thon! All Out Adventures is a Northampton, MA based nonprofit organization that facilitates about 180 outdoor recreation program each year throughout Massachusetts for veterans, seniors, and people with disabilities and their loved ones.

I'd be interested in wind skills. Will hold the date and hope for the right conditions.
