cfolster Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 UPDATE: Scheduled for Monday September 22, 6-9pmThe Gould Barn - 1 Howlett Street, Topsfield, MAPotluck dinner - please bring an appetizer, entrée or dessert to share with the group.The club will provide paper products and utensils.I am bringing some water (in bottles), juice and diet soda left over from the last NSPN event, but folks should bring their own drink if those don't suffice.Warren and Dave have agreed to do a presentation and question/answer regarding their recent paddling trip in Alaska's Prince William Sound. This is a great opportunity to find out what they learned about longer expeditions in remote areas and to relive this incredible journey with them.We will start with a potluck dinner followed by a presentation and question and answer session.Looking forward to seeing everyone at this event and hearing their story!And I should add a thank you to Dave Merriman for suggesting this excellent idea!

josko Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Oh, I'm so tempted, but fighting Boston traffic that time of day all the way from the South shore is intimidating. Any chance of doing this again somewhere south of 128? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prudenceb Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thanks to both of you, Warren and David, for doing the presentation. It was really terrific! And thanks also to Cathy for organizing, and Dave Merriman for suggesting! It was a full three hours of information - photos, narration, anecdotes, a power point presentation (!) on concepts and lessons learned...as well as demos of David's fully loaded boat (which as he unpacked it seemed like an endless Christmas stocking of goodies) and of various items that we don't generally have to deal with on our local trips - water filters, group shelters and an attention to detail to ensure the trip was safe and not totally soaked! Maps, charts, books to peruse. Prizes for the audience for correct answers to obscure and not so obscure questions. And I shouldn't forget to mention the audience's insistence that Warren model his new waterproof bib overalls. Tres chic!Clearly a lot of thought went into Warren's and David's presentation, and it was greatly appreciated by all. I am sure that if our Gould Barn time hadn't run out at 9 pm, we could easily have continued into the wee hours.Thanks, guys!pru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thanks Warren and Dave for an excellent presentation! Warren models his new rain bib Warren and Dave share special gear secrets Dave demonstrates expedition kayak packing, makes his fully loaded boat throw up in public, to the intrigue and pleasure of onlookers.
