leong Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hmm, people are complaining that I’m having too much fun paddling solo. Sorry, I can’t help it; I just gotta paddle!Anyway, to rectify, this I’d like to host a group paddle Thursday (8/6/15) from Lanes Cove, Gloucester. BIB time is 1100. The current plan is to paddle to Straitsmouth Island and have lunch there and/or head to a beach in Rockport.There’s not enough space here so please check the subject line for additional details.Please post interest here.-LeonPSHopefully we’ll be home in time to watch the TrumpNado show on the Fox channel.PPSA free tow to the first one who guesses where I was paddling to take this picture.

lhunt Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Maybe Pablo was hoping for a training run? :-) But I'm not in training shape these days, unfortunately.The stated trip (with Rockport) is about 12 miles, yes.-Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackburn Challenge director suggested that she and I should compete in a race around Cape Ann. But the one who’s boat placed second would get the super prize. So we started the race and after several boring hours we both had only paddled one mile. Then Lisa suggested something and I agreed to do it.Lisa got the prize. What did she suggest?Hint: We both got wet following the suggestion.-Leon Edited August 5, 2015 by leong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
