billvoss Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Wednesdays at Walden is on the calendar for 2018 from May 23rd through August 29th, though it may keep going even longer. See the calendar entry for details. Unless the weather looks like Thunder, I currently plan to attend the May 23rd session. Are others interested in going to Comella’s after the first session?
Dan Foster Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Assuming good weather, I plan to be there on the 23rd, and would enjoy going to Comella's after. I'll withhold my official RSVP until we get closer to the date, however. Speaking of Walden and good weather, it's supposed to be 85 degrees out on Wednesday, May 2nd. I'd be up for a pond or river paddle in the area that afternoon (maybe with less emphasis on rolling until the water temp catches up with the air temp), if anyone else is interested.
JaneC Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Unless there is some unforeseen event I plan on attending and could do compelled as well
John Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I'm hoping to do the 23rd at Walden as well. Dan, for Wednesday, 5/2, may I suggest Lake Gardner in Amesbury in the afternoon? Easy access from 495...I'd be up for that.
kgibson Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Bill, I'll plan on May 23 at Walden and Comella's afterwards. Dan, I'd be up for something in the area on May 2
prudenceb Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 I walked around Walden this morning. Sure looked appealing! I chatted with one of the swimmers about water temp. She guessed low 60’s. Except for Bill, who always wears drysuit (!), looks as though wetsuit with appropriate top will suffice. I'm planning on being there this Wednesday the 23rd, likely around 4ish - or earlier if others want to gather mid afternoon. No, Jonathan and Kelsey, I'm not up for 6 am yet. Let's let things warm up first! And could,it be a day other than Wednesday? Like...Tuesday maybe? Prudence
billvoss Posted May 20, 2018 Author Posted May 20, 2018 It currently looks like I will be LATE on May 23rd, and there is a chance I won't make it at all. I have contractors starting work on Wednesday and I am not certain what time they will quit for the day. I will bring my drysuit Pru, though I might wear shorts and a T-shirt under it!
Nancy Hill Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 I should be able to make it on the 23rd and expect to arrive at around 3:30 -4:00.
prudenceb Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Nancy, if you'll be there at 3:30, so will I! Remember, everyone: liability waivers now need to be signed for all nspn events including Walden. Because we all tend to launch at different times, EVERYONE SHOULD BRING HER/HIS OWN WAIVER FORM, fill out and sign, and Bill or I will collect at end of session. My recommendation: print out a bunch of them and just have them in your car. Oh yes, and Comelia's in Concord Center after for a quick supper. Hopefully all ponders will be able to join us! Prudence
JanetL Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Hello If I show up after work at 5:30, will everyone already be ready for pasta? No early Wednesday escapes for me... Janet
PeterB Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 'll be there this Wednesday: I will try to arrive @ 4PM .

According to twitter: The boat ramp closes half an hour before the park, we usually get off the water half an hour before the boat ramp closes. So this Wednesday we will be getting off the water around 6:30pm so that everyone is out of the boat ramp parking area before it closes at 7pm. After the long weekend, Walden will probably close at 8pm so we will start getting off the water at 7pm to be out before 7:30pm. Edited May 22, 2018 by billvoss
Dan Foster Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 I plan to get there before 4 and stay for pasta afterwards. Nancy, any chance I could try out your wing paddle for a spin around the pond, either tomorrow or at a future session? I can offer a Canada goose decoy as collateral.

I will put it in my car now, so I don't forget it.
prudenceb Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Not to be annoying...although I acknowledge I probably am - but again... please everyone bring your filled out and signed liability wavers. Print out a bunch. Put them in your car so you'll have them for future escapades. Bill or Dan or I will collect. Thanks.
kgibson Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 I don't think I'm going to make it tonight - family obligations. If I can get away, I will join you (with liability waiver in hand)!
PeterB Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 I'll be there : I will try to arrive at 4PM. I'm also game for a bite to eat afterwards.
