Hi Everyone,

A few of us are planning to do a kayak camping trip next week Wed. Aug 9th - Friday Aug. 11th on one of the Maine Island Trail designated Islands off of Vinalhaven Island. We'll be taking the Ferry to Vinalhaven early in the morning on Wed. Aug 9th. The Islands have a maximum capacity of 8 people and you'll need to supply your own camping gear. The kayaking will be moderate 10 miles maximum with gear in your kayak. You must have experience with wet exit and re-entry techniques.

Required gear includes but is not limited to

Small backpacking type tent

Sleeping bag & sleeping pad

kayak safety gear - PFD, paddle float, pump etc.

If you are interested and you are an experienced sea kayaker and have the required kayak/camping gear then reply and I'll provide you with more information. Please only reply if you are serious about joining us and you have the experience and gear for kayak camping.

The plans will firm up by this weekend, so the first people who respond with the necessary experience and gear may join us.
