gyork Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Level 3 trip that especially welcomes new kayak campers, and a reunion for those of us who don't see each other often enough.

The SUGGESTED itinerary is as follows: FRIDAY: Arrive at _____ (multiple launch site options, with each pod working out details privately or on NSPN Message Board under "trips") on Friday, May 18, in plenty of time for a ______am launch (LT-0756). If you are new to kayak camping, you may need extra time packing your boat, so plan on arriving no later than _______. Traditional pot-luck supper.

Nancy Hill Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I sent an email to Dolphin Marina inquiring about parking cost, after being surprised last year with a higher than expected charge added to my lunch bill. I received a response from Chris, which is copied below. It appears as though the fee is somewhat negotiable. Last year, I parked for 3 nights and the initial parking charge on my lunch bill was $60. After a few of us complained, it was reduced to $30. I've never paid for day & night parking anywhere along the Maine coast. It has either been free, or a maximum of $10 per night. At some point we should get back to Chris with an estimate of number of cars and what we would be willing to pay for parking. Parking is very limited, but we would like to accommodate your group. In your email you do not specify the number of people and vehicles, do you have an idea? Depending on the number, I can try and park some of you at our lot 1 mile down the road. Our posted parking fee is $10 per day and $10 per night. What do you think works for your group? Thank you Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyork Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Let’s take this off-line (sorta) please, by starting a group message thread to include all those who have RSVP’d on the calendar listing, where we can sort out trip details. This Luddite will pass on that task, and open it to any of the remaining 19 to take a crack at. g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyork Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 A disappointing last-minute mass mutiny has led to open enrollment for this weekend's Jewell I. trip. Pods launching from Th thru Saturday. Send me a PM if you'd like to join us. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
