rfolster Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 The Annual Solstice Paddle Returns!! Date: Saturday June 18th, 2022Location: Riverhead Beach, Marblehead (across street from Devereux Beach on the Marblehead neck)Time: Ready to launch 9:30am, back for potluck by 4:00pm Parking: Cost will be $20 cash per vehicle. Level 3 Trip: Please click this link to see descriptions of the different trip levels. This group will be taking on a moderate coastal journey in the range of 15 miles give or take. I would recommend that participants look at weather forecasts as they become available and discuss options on this thread. Based on a cooperative group concept, trips may or may not have assigned leaders, but instead can call on the skills and leadership within each group as needed or designated. PPPO: Tradition calls for a Post-Paddle-Pig-Out, where we all meet for a potluck gathering and share tales of the day, catch up with those we haven't seen lately, and make new friends. We have rented the Garfield Pavilion which is located near the playground, and will gather there. Requirements: Please note that this is a sea kayaking trip, so boats appropriate for the ocean are required. I loosely define this as a boat with integral flotation front and rear (or added for skin-on-frame kayaks), deck lines around the majority of the perimeter, and cockpit coaming that accepts a spray skirt. PFD's are required, as well as appropriate safety gear for your level of experience. If you are unsure about your equipment or experience, feel free to reach out on the forum or directly to me for answers. Participants: This trip is open to all active NSPN members (please email membership@nspn.org if you have any membership issues), regardless of experience. Please be honest with your trip level selection, and be prepared for a possible adjustment based on group makeup. If you are unsure about what trip level group to join, don't hesitate to ask. Registration: Please POST TO THIS THREAD if you plan to join the this Level 3 group, and make sure to participate in discussions about the trip plans. Also let us know if you are attending the potluck, and what category of food you might bring, such as appetizer, main, side, desert, or snack (BYO beverage).
