EEL Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 So how many folks are going to Bar harbor and what classes being taken? From the drysuit thread it seems several are going up. Anyone planning on private trips if they have free time?Ed Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccarlson Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Taking 4* training Friday and Saturday. Heading back Sunday morning so, unfortunately, no "fun" paddling for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grybzzll Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'll be doing 4* Fri and Sat, rock gardening Sun, and tidal currents Mon. And with any luck I'm not the only one there, other than some of the coaches and Aqua Terra employees, who actually lives in Maine! WoooHooo, its gonna be great FUN! And after spending the day yesterday in the surf at Popham (bigbig fun!), I think I'll be bringing my drysuit. Planning on getting there around noon on Thurs, would definately be interested in a Thurs afternoon/evening paddle if anyone else is up for it.Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJ Carey Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'll be there with a friend. We're taking 4* Friday and Saturday, rock gardens Sunday, and currents on Monday. I'm really looking forward to it.See you all there,Galen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, if you are not tired puppies by Monday night you folks are some heavy hitters. Hopefully I will meet you at the Lobster fest, which is more my speed, and tales will abound.Ed Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Gwynn Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Yup, taking Coach 2 training Sat & Sun. Have to be back home on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhipple Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'll be there for Fri and Sat classes, looking to camp Thu-Sat nights. It's pretty clear there's lots of space in the various local campgrounds, but I'd rather camp near kayakers than, say, bikers ... Judging from the message board so far, a few (at least) plan to camp at Mout Desert Campground ... so, is that the place to go, or are some of you (who are camping) going to the alternatives (Seawall, Lamoine)?Thanks,Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I have been (very) sick for over a week, and must wait and see how I feel on Friday before deciding whether I can go. I will miss Friday in any event , so I can't do the four star training, which requires two days. Hoping for fun with currents, and rock gardening, at least.

wilsoj2 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 There are four that I know of going from the Albany, NY area. I have at least two other friends going (one from NH and one from MA.)I doing Traditional (Greenland) am and pm on Friday, Canoe Safety Test on Saturday, Navigation I on Sunday, and Tides & Currents on Monday.In case someone has not yet heard: In addition to the previously announced coaches, Tom Bergh will be present.

EEL Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 >I'll be there as well... Are you coming from Montreal for just those four days or will you be about for longer? Staying at your favorite campground?I will ask Mel if she is putting up a message board so folks could make it easier to contact one another.

DanR Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'll just be there for the four days, have to work sometime...I rented a little cabin for my stay this time, I will be arriving late thursday and putting up a tent at 11 pm was less than tempting. By the way I am planning another couple of weeks on the island next summer if you are interested...DanOnce more upon the waters! yet once more!

grybzzll Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hey Bill,Are you bringing your AA? Anyone wanna start an Anas Acuta owners support group? Owners of boats that turn unite!GaryAnas Acuta-touquoise/black w/gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEL Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 > Anyone wanna start an Anas Acuta >owners support group? There seem to be more AA people than I thought. I wonder how many folks out there actively use their AA?If the support group provided "relationship counselling" regarding the AA, I'd join in heartbeat. Ed Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 An Anas acuta support group: hmmm, not sure that sounds quite right, as AA owners probably don't need much support, all of which is provided by knowing they're astride the baddest ride yet to have creased the ocean. Anas cuta Elite Guard? Anas acuta Commissars of Quirk? ( okay, enough: I've gotta get well soon, get off the keyboard and back into the H20) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Gwynn Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Oh yeah, I'll be in the AA. It's the only boat I have paddled since I got it. It's all I think about. I think I may have a "problem". So the support group may be just what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEL Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 > I think I >may have a "problem". So the support group may be just what >I need.Hmmmm. Sounds like you have found my description to you accurate.When out of it, you just think about getting inside again don't you?Ed Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hazard Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'll be taking 4* training Fri and Sat, followed by Fwd Stroke, then Rock Gardens on Monday. That way, if I trash my boat in the rocks, the whole trip won't be wasted! I TRUST that all you AA hotshots will be using GPs!

dsigall Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Yes, I'm camping. Bob Cornell & Jason Fouser also. I'm planning to stay at MT Desert Campground on RT 198. I have camped there a lot and recomend it: it's on the upper sound, has tent platforms (great if it rains) and well maintained bathrooms- hot showers $1. I was there for 2 weeks earlier in Aug. Owen (the manager) said it should be no problem getting a site for the symposium http://www.mountdesertcampground.com/ Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Gwynn Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 You mean that silly little stick you lent me? It seems that every time I stick it in the water, it magically pulls me overboard. It is real easy to roll back up with though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grybzzll Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 No no Peter, we need all the support we can get! Except when you lean that baby wayyyy over and she just locks in and spins! You just need to get your own Anas Acuta, or do you have one? Everyone should! G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
