jwhipple Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks for posting this, Al! Am thinking about joining you. What time do you anticipate getting off the water in the PM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlewis Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) I'm a likely participant -- sounds like the perfect mellow paddle to finally start my season (with obeisance to the Goddesses and Gods of the Sea -- may they not zing us for my presumptive chutzpah).

alcoons Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks for posting this, Al! Am thinking about joining you. What time do you anticipate getting off the water in the PM?Well let's say we average 3 mph and do 9 miles. That is 3 hours. Plus a lunch stop and maybe another short one. No promises but 4-4.5 hours? We will NOT turn this into a long trip.Hope you can join us. Edited June 19, 2013 by alcoons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
