Posted October 19, 20231 yr Hi Everyone, First, let me say thank you to Bob and Joe for conceiving and implementing WLPs. These paddles have been well attended by members and often there has been a wait list.! It is important that this highly successful series continue in 2024 and beyond. I am looking for a band of NSPN compatriots to organize and facilitate these paddles over the course of warm weather months in 2024. Let me be the first one to sign up! If you are free to help out, I trust you will join me in this effort! Please respond with your interest or questions here. I can not do this alone... nor should anyone else ! A pool of facilitators should allow us to have consistent (weather dependent) WLPs going forward. So what do you say...will you come out and join the facilitator pool ? Cheers, SueH
October 19, 20231 yr I've often filled in for Joe on WLP's, and happy to be part of the gang to keep the tradition going.
October 22, 20231 yr I'd like to partner with someone else to host some WLPs as I become more familiar with NSPN's model and learn more navigation skills. I live in Rochester, NH and would be available to host from Rye,NH to Portland ME,with a particular interest in trips in Southern Maine. Please let me knowif you would be interested in partnering for a bit. Thanks! Edited October 22, 20231 yr by Deborah Walsh
October 22, 20231 yr @Deborah Walsh I would be happy to co host a paddle with you and share some informal knowledge of how it works (without taking over the whole deal). you mentioned you’d like to have some more paddles this season and I think there can definitely be a few more. I am going to organize a small paddle locally on the north shore on Tuesday if you want to join - see trips forum later today. Edited October 22, 20231 yr by Joseph Berkovitz

October 23, 20231 yr Jim and Joe, I appreciate your offers. I'm sure I can learn from both of you. I host for other groups,but each one is different, and I haven't hosted ocean paddles. I humbly admit that my biggest challenge right now is effectively navigating this site. If you know how to message me directly, we can exchange contact info. Joe, I'm seeing clients Tuesday. I'd love to join you if something changes. I am doing Squam with David Weedbesday. I love to paddle there Thank you! Edited October 23, 20231 yr by Deborah Walsh

November 29, 20231 yr I would also be interested in "apprenticing", applying skills from the workshop in March.
