prudenceb Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Looks like a mostly pretty experienced (and therefore already well-equipped) group, which is too bad on one level bc I have a bag of paddling mittens and gloves I was hoping to unload for free. If anyone is in need of Glacier Gloves, size medium, several pairs either barely worn or brand new, or NRS brand new size medium neoprene mittens, let me know and I'll bring the bag.

prudenceb Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Um….forecast looking a little…alarming. Possible tstorms with hail after 1 pm. That was point forecast. Last time that was forecast was NTSKW and those of us still there remember it was spot on. Does paddling tmrw make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfolster Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 I hate to do this, but I am calling the paddle off. The day has been on the hairy edge of comfortable with a heavy offshore wind to contend with. Adding rain was pushing even further, but chancing thunderstorms and hail I just can’t justify. I really hope everyone checks in before going, so please confirm that you have seen this update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Foster Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Happy Easter in absentia to my fellow paddling bunnies/buddies. Our un-Orthodox paddling tradition will be missed this year. Let the graupel-spitting thunderclouds Passover our group whenever we meet may again, and shower us not with hailstones but with chocolate eggs and marshmallow peeps.

rfolster Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Thanks for checking in everyone, and for understanding the need to cancel. Hope to see all of you soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Berkovitz Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 There actually were graupel-spitting clouds today over Salem sound, in case those not living around here are curious! For a period of around 10 minutes right around noon we had small 1/4” hail coming down. But there were no thunder claps or lightning flashes and the wind did not seem to pick up all that much. It was all over quickly and with little apparent danger to any foolish boaters who may or may not have been out there. (I wasn’t.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
