natalia Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I'm dying to hear - so fill me in! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suz Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 On Saturday the beginner class moved north from Nahant to Kings Beach near the wall in Swampscott. When I showed up at 2:30, the group was coming off the water for a short break. Everyone had smiles on their faces and seemed to be having a blast. I left the beach at 4:45 and Dave and Karen were still pushing Nigel for more!Thanks so much for loaning your boat for the weekend. I saw that Nigel taught it a few tricks while he was using it!

Bill Gwynn Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I took lots of pics of your boat in action. There are two pages of them. http://www.kayakpics.com/gallery/101505 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christa Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Just when I was starting to feel sorry for you for missing out on this and Tybee, I noticed there's a person in those pics that looks remarkably like you, Suz. Were you delivering hot cocoa by boat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suz Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Bill's boat was lonesome while it was sitting on the beach and because my hair was already wet from the rain, I couldn't resist just giving his Avocet a try. It was a bit awkward as he doesn't have foot pegs and he is a wee bit taller... I did have to steal someone's pfd and helmet but I got a few runs in!SuzPS - you should still feel sorry for me though. I am up to my ears in boxes getting ready to move - never a fun job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eneumeier Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 And, your Legend is safely back in your garage. We dropped it off on the way back to Gloucester after the advanced "surf" - turned into a "directional control in the wind on a pond" class. The gale force winds flattened the sea so there was no surf on Sunday, alas.Liz N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcohn Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 The waves at Walden were nearly large enough to surf on Sunday. I'll bet one of the larger area lakes might have been doable.The wind made a couple of rolls that I've been having trouble with much easier to hit. That let me work out some refinements and try new things. Now I need a quiet day to see if they'll still work.Ralph CohnElaho DS, blue & white with yellow trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Not sure if you thinking of heading back so soon. But I am probably heading to Walden after work to marrow to test dry suit and work on my roll. -Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcohn Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Gate closes at 6 pm now, unfortunately not much after work paddling time left.Ralph CohnElaho DS, blue & white with yellow trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
