BethS Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Sadly preliminary testing indicates that pogies are incompatible w/ greenland sticks; has anyone else tried this? Looks like I'll be using my usual glove/mitten combo.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eburgess Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 My 15 year old car finally had too many problems to fix reasonably and I got a new vehicle two days ago. Racks are not on yet, so I will pass on this trip. Have fun and stay warm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethS Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Bummer, I have been up half the night, not feeling well, so I will have to bow out of this trip. i'm sorry to miss it, Happy New Year everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfolster Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Due to a slight increase in winds and gusts generating a Small Craft Advisory, and temperatures (in Tewksbury at least) being 5 degrees colder than forecast (the difference being below freezing instead of above), we have decided to postpone this trip until tomorrow (Monday). The plan is still to launch from Good Harbor Beach at 10:00am and paddle over to Stage Fort Park for lunch, but with a forecast of variable winds 5 kt or less, mostly sunny, seas around 1 ft, and high around 42 degrees. What a difference a day can make!!!! Please post if you are interested in joining this trip on Monday. I would like to have responses set by 5pm so I can put together the float plan.

prudenceb Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'll be there, but bummed Cathy has to work manana! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prudenceb Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Another thought...or question... given that conditions benign tmrw, is there anywhere else we'd rather paddle? We chose this location in hopes of escaping the wind, but if that's no longer a consideration...do we want to go elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfolster Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'd like to still launch from Good Harbor because you don't get to launch from there very often. I'm fine with going north or south from there. Ooops, forgot to add - I am now free to go - no work for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverseyourself Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Boat's on the car, new CG-garrote, AKA neck gasket in stretch over night. Would like to join but taking into consideration the possibility of the trajectory of my cold altering its vector towards pneumonia again and cancelling tomorrow AM. Will send FP.
